[Freeswitch-users] Looking for libesl, headers, etc.

[Telium Technical Support]

I wanted to try the FusionPBX GUI with FS, and according to the docs (https://docs.fusionpbx.com/en/latest/getting_started/quick_install.html)  Debian 9 is the recommended base.

Since FS was available as a precompiled package I hoped that the ESL was available as a package as well, but I ended up grabbing the source.

Why are you building a Debian 9 system?  Debian 11 is the current stable release; security support for Debian 9 ended in July 202, and long-term support will end in June 2022.

According to the documentation at
https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/Event+Socket+Library "ESL
(libesl) is a C library that has no dependencies on FreeSWITCH, and it can be built, and moved to client/remote machines."

Therefore I would expect you to be able to build it directly from https://github.com/signalwire/freeswitch/blob/master/libs/esl/src/esl.c
