Don't use --srcdir we don't fully support that and the howto guides do not mention it AT ALL.  So doing things that are not in the howto aren't really tested nor supported.

Hello All

 

On CentOS 5.3, I am trying to build Freeswitch in a different directory and use the –srcdir= option.  One reason I want to do this to have Debug and Release build targets from the same source.

 

It doesn’t work, the configure errors when it gets to the first library subdirectory lib/srtp and tries to configure in there.

 

The steps I am doing are:

1. Building as root
2. Unzip freeswitch-1.0.4-tar.gz in /opt
3. cd into /opt/freeswitch-1.0.4
4. mkdir Debug
5. cd Debug
6. ../configure –srcdir=”..” CFLAGS=”-g –ggdb –O2”
7. After several seconds of configuring I get:

=== configuring in libs/srtp (/opt/freeswitch-1.0.4/Debug/libs/srtp)

configure: running /bin/sh ../../../libs/srtp/configure.gnu --disable-option-checking '--prefix=/usr/local/freeswitch'  'CFLAGS=-g -ggdb -O2' --cache-file=/dev/null --srcdir=../../../libs/srtp

../../../libs/srtp/configure.gnu: line 2: ./configure: No such file or directory

configure: error: ../../../libs/srtp/configure.gnu failed for libs/srtp

[root@roberth-c53 Debug]#

 

The file that’s executing is this:

[root@roberth-c53 srtp]# cd libs/srtp; cat ../../../libs/srtp/configure.gnu

#! /bin/sh

./configure "$@" --disable-shared --with-pic

 

 

Please tell me if I understood the –srcdir option correctly and if there is a way to do build in a different directory.
