getting closer to that point. I will be building from source. Having
looked at the documentation I can see that Debian is preferred, and the
use of distros in general. However, I don't use distros, but rather
build my own systems from scratch.<br class=""><br class=""></div>I've looked at the Centos page ( <a href="https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/CentOS+7+and+RHEL+7" target="_blank" class="">https://freeswitch.org/conflue<wbr class="">nce/display/FREESWITCH/CentOS+<wbr class="">7+and+RHEL+7</a>

dependencies. I already have most of those dependencies installed
(other than the codecs) but I have three questions which maybe somebody
can answer.<br class=""><br class=""></div>The first is: can openssl be substituted with libressl, which I use?<br class=""></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div></span>Not sure, depends if libressl has the required pieces we need for dtls-srtp and all the required ciphers required by the browsers for webrtc.</div></div></blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks, I suppose the answer is to give it a try. <br class=""></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word" class=""><div class=""><span class=""><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div>The
second is: "mongo-c-driver-devel" suggests that mongodb is a dependency
of Freeswitch. I've seen no mention of mongodb anywhere in either the
book, or the documentation generally, so why is this listed as a
dependency?<br class=""></div></div></div></blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div></span>Its a module, if you don’t want that module, its not needed.</div></div></blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">That's what I thought; thanks for the heads up. <br class=""></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word" class=""><div class=""><span class=""><br class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><div class=""><div dir="ltr" class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">The third is: there is no mention of

The versions in Debian 8 are well tested, other versions are much less well tested or not tested at all. As for other libs, use the ones in our stash project for dep libs when not otherwise available. Creating extensive documentation for building on your own distro would be far more work than even adding support for a new distro, and we don’t have any plans to create that. I’m happy to respond to some specific questions, but there are limits to the amount of time that it makes sense for us to spend on issues like this for a single person.</div></div></blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Again, I suppose the answer is to just try the build with my versions (most of which are fairly recent -- maybe too recent, but I'll see) and if there are any problems with a particular package then refer back to Debian 8. <br class=""></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote><div><br class=""></div>No problem.
