Hi All,

I hope you can help with something I have noticed.

Current build is below and I am looking to use some scripting with v8 (javascript is required here), but I am hitting a whole host of issues with just trying to get mod_v8 installed. The rest of the software I have tried is perfect and has been for a few days.

Ubuntu 20.04 server – latest and upto date.

FreeSWITCH build 1.10.6

Here is my debug and steps taken, but I am at a loss currently so any help would be appreciated here.

Am I missing something simple here?

Many Thanks,

John.

Build/Install

mod_v8 is built and installed by default as of revision b76233266931ca0b53f3bcc589277b972d714216.

If for some reason it's not, do the following:

Uncomment languages/mod_v8 in modules.conf in your src directory (make it always build and install mod_v8)

Run 'make mod_v8-install' to make and install just the v8 module

Edit conf/autoload_configs/modules.conf.xml in your FreeSWITCH™ install directory to load mod_v8

In fs_cli, run "load mod_v8"

"

If you uncomment it from the autoload_configs/modules.conf.xml and reloadxml then you won't get any errors, but as the module doesn't exist, if you try to do a javascript command from fs_cli it will give you an error:

"-ERR javascript Command not found!"

Running through the 'make mod_v8-install' throws some errors about:

"

Trying to recompile with: "sudo ./configure -C" throws the below errors:

On Ubunutu and Debian this is libv8-dev and is installed.

root@freeswitch:/usr/src/freeswitch-1.10.6.-release# sudo apt-get install libv8-dev
