so you're saying you are taking our obsolete 1-year-old code release and butchering it for your needs for who-knows-what and you need assistance from us? We are busy trying to maintain our actual build system on our current release. So I say either use ours and ask for help with that or don't use our resources for your corporation's needs....

Because the modules all use the core API functions, which are provided by libfreeswitch.so.
I've just checked and the .so is used by both the freeswitch binary and all the modules. That means although all modules depend on the library, it's only loaded into memory once so you're not wasting memory. If it was compiled statically it'd mean huge module files.
The .la is just used then to generate the .so. As a sideeffect the .la is also distributed into the mod directory (as .la and .a) so you can link statically if you're embedding FS in your own app if you wish, but I don't think they're actually used.

I think it's because it compiles libfreeswitch as a .la so that it can be build into the freeswitch binary. libfreeswitch.so is also distributed (and built from the .la) so that you can embed freeswitch within your own program.
I'm sure one of the main devs could confirm that...

Ok, I know the difference between .so and .a/.la, my question is why freeswitch makefile needs to create both libfreeswitch.so and libfreewitch.la? You either dynamic link or static link. I am confused here. ..

They're built in. They're not separate modules, there's no need to load them.
The .so is a shared library. The .la is a static library created by libtool. It's like a .a file if you weren't using libtool.

in the core? I guess it is included in libfreeswitch.so.
based on the makefile output the libfreeswitch has two forms : libfreeswitch.la and libfreeswitch.so, what is the reason ? It creates a big headache for our cross compiling..
