[Freeswitch-users] FreeSWITCH on Raspberry Pi - OpenVPN gateway, B2BUA

[Michael Whapples]

Yes that is right, you will not hit out of memory issues if just doing a 
compile, but if using the debian packaging stuff you will. I think it is 
within the part where it gets the various sources and then produces the 
debian source tarball, so is not actually the compile stage.
