Chris, I have been running FS on 10.6,x since 2010 fine and have been updating a lot recently to help testing, I have had no problems. I don't use macport stuff. I wrote the original FS osX wiki but there are some differences since 2010 (I am working on fixing the wiki in the next few weeks). The wiki install instructions work if you add the following. Hope this helps:

1. Add this info:
FreeSWITCH™ has many functions that invoke PKG-CONFIG, so it must be downloaded and installed separately.
# Got to [http://pkgconfig.freedesktop.org/releases/ here] and download the latest pkg-config, by default it is placed into your Downloads folder.   MUST USE .25 for OSXdue to glib2 dependencies!
# Open Downloads and click the file to uncompress it.
# Launch the Terminal application if not already running and issue these commands to move the source to the src directory, build and install:
    cd ~/Downloads
    mv pkg-config-0.25 /usr/local/src
    cd /usr/local/src/pkg-config-0.25
    ./configure
    make
    sudo make install <– sudo is required because binaries are loaded into /usr/bin


2. You MUST do this:
./bootstrap.sh
./configure --with-openssl

3. The FLITE fix is no longer needed.

Hi FS Users,

tl;dr;  - removed macports, removed tree, pulled fresh tree = installed FS on OSX.


Here is the longer version that had a bit of a pre-emptive whinge about libtool version mismatch.  But we never got there - it worked!

I'm in the process of re-installing FS on OSX (10.6.8).  I have removed Macports to try and get this up and running.
I re-bootstrapped and got this error:

quiet_libtool: Version mismatch error.  This is libtool 2.4, but the
quiet_libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from libtool 2.2.4.
quiet_libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.4
quiet_libtool: and run autoconf again.
make[1]: *** [libfreeswitch_la-switch_apr.lo] Error 63
make: *** [all] Error 2

Removed the whole git tree just in case there was some left over junk.  Pulled a fresh tree and noticed this remark during a fresh bootstrap

It is still reporting a 2.2.4 version of libtool.

In the end, it has been compiled and installed though
