[Freeswitch-users] Documentation for 1.6+Video build

[Craig Stevenson]

As a novice trying to follow the documentation for creating FreeSWITCH
1.6+Video instance, I have a few questions and have noticed a few gaps in
the documentation.  For experienced users, these gaps are the "obvious"
steps... but not so obvious to those of us just getting started...


For consistency with the Wheezy 1.4 instructions, should the instructions
have users clone the code into /usr/local/src/freeswitch?  If so, modify
the install instructions to 'cd /usr/local/src' and clone the software into
'freeswitch' instead of 'freeswitch.git'

# then let's get the source

cd /usr/local/src

git clone https://freeswitch.org/stash/scm/fs/freeswitch.git freeswitch
cd freeswitch.git
git checkout fs-video2
./bootstrap.sh -j
./configure -C

I'm curious why there is a change in the recommended parameters for
./configure

Wheezy 1.4:  ./configure --enable-core-pgsql-support

Jessie 1.6: ./configure -C


Should the 1.6+Video install instructions page replicate (or at least
reference) create the freeswitch user?

Should the 1.6+Video install instructions page replicate (or at least
reference) how to setup FreeSWITCH for automatic start.

The 1.6+Video page has a section on setting up Bridging from WebRTC that
shows adding an extension to Dialplan.  For the novice user, it might help
to A) mention the exact file (e.g.
/usr/local/freeswitch/conf/dialplan/default.xml and B) mention if there is
a specific place in the file where that text should go (or is it OK to just
add it to the end of the file?

Again, I know some of my questions above are painfully obvious to most of
you.  But they are not obvious to the new person trying to get started.  I
mention these here in the hope of helping others who are also just getting
started.

Thanks,
Craig
