[Freeswitch-users] v8 working on 10.8/10.9 - (was Week in Review Feb 23rd-Mar 01)

[Mario G]

Each time you see the date updated on the OSX wiki pages it means there was a full test with brew updates/upgrade/latest Xcode and FS build from scratch (git clone). I don't put anything on the pages that was not tested. I mention that if you install some prereqs differently or mixed with homebrew there were problems. I am also running these build our phone system. In fact, I updated 10.8 yesterday on it and all seems well. However, not all modules are tested on the running system since I don't use every part of FS. I do use LUA a lot. As for building, the wiki is 100 percent accurate.

The wiki instructions are tested each time
