[Freeswitch-users] freeswitch, Mavericks and MacPorts

Thank you very much Mario and Brian though I should've been more specific:

*using macports*.

Would it be possible to modify configure.in so that it doesn't fail if homebrew's openssl isn't present but instead uses the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS passed to it?

On the production Macs I manage, I personally find macports to be a simple and reliable package manager. Ports are self-contained and self-reliant in /opt/local and aren't affected by Apple updates. I might be wrong but I'd think that for a machine running freeswitch, stability is a primary concern and using another package manager that instead relies on OS components that Apple can and does change without warning would make it fragile.

For other Mac users who aren't already using a package manager and don't know the process to use macports, it's a simple download of the small binary installer <http://www.macports.org/install.php>, install XCode and the command line tools from Apple and then 'sudo port install <port name>'

There's a very active and responsive community and as of 2014-03-09 at 21:00:26 America/Los_Angeles, there are 18,237 ports.

Hope it helps. Sorry can't get 10.6 working, it's not a clean install. Many more updates coming but wanted to get this up quickly.

I agree, seems like there should be a better way than removing lines from configure.in because I'm sure I'll forget when it's time to upgrade FS. Those who are much smarter about these things, I'd be happy to hear about another way.
