Some updates on the build system below. Please read on! The bulk of the invasive changes to the FreeSWITCH(tm) autotools build system are now in tree. We will be continuing to refine the system over time, but the bulk of the changes are now in tree. The important changes are as follows: The build targets are now more in line with typical packages. make: will build all the sourcecode and libraries make install: will install. make uninstall: will uninstall. make clean: will clean the build files The old targets (installall, modules, sure, modclean, modwipe, megaclean, ect) still all generally behave as they did before. For the libraries we have in tree, we, for the most part, now statically link to them and do not install them. This should resolve much of the issues reported in regards to the need for LD_LIBRARY_PATH and system library conflicts. The FreeSWITCH(tm) build will now use a system version of the curl library if it detects a usable version at configure time. We will probably add some more libraries to this list over time, as we review any patches that we have in the libs that we have in tree, and get those patches back to the library maintainers. This will be a long process due to the amount of libraries and the amount of changes in many of them. We will likely be doing some changes to the url's you checkout from svn to give you options on what libs you download. We will continue to use statically linked libraries in certain cases where we see performance or other benefits to doing so. These will most likely be configure options. We have started the process of building binary packages for FreeSWITCH(tm) svn snapshots. The first of these are at: http://software.opensuse.org/download/server:/telephony/ We are looking for people who are willing to write the appropriate files for operating systems and distros that are not covered by that list. In particular, for BSD ports, gentoo, and debian. If you are willing to lend a hand, please drop me a line. All of the auto-tools generated files have now been removed from the svn tree. If you are building from svn, you will need to have autoconf, automake and libtool installed, and run ./bootstrap.sh and configure. I highly suggest using -C on your configure line, it speeds up the configure quite a bit. We will have a location for pre-bootstrapped source tarballs soon. In the mean time, if anyone could give me feedback on any boostrap/configure/make failures on different platforms. Known issues currently are as follows: OsX builds are currently broken unless you manually change apr to build shared libraries, and install them. This I plan on fixing today. Bsd users can now use the standard bsd make for everything except the sofia-sip library. I am also working on addressing this issue. Any other issues please let me know (best to track bugs on jira.freeswitch.org), and I will follow up with another update to the list soon. Mike.
