[Freeswitch-users] Lua access to ESL

[Bote Man]

I don't know how the packages handle it, but I'm guessing they don't provide the necessary ESL libraries for each and every language.

Even when you build from source you still must explicitly visit the directory containing the desired ESL language and run "make" from there, then it compiles and installs it for you. It's not intuitive, but it is documented well enough for perl (because that's what I used and fleshed out the wiki page for it). It should be the same for other languages.

Here's the ESL installation wiki instructions

It says there were packages for ancient Debian, so I would assume they have been kept up to date.

Yes, depending on who packaged it for you.  Which Linux distribution do you use?

In summary, you can use ESL from anything which can talk over a network socket https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/Event+Socket+Library

For Lua I believe
https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/Lua+API+Reference
is what you need, although
https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/mod_lua
may be useful as well.
