The script here works but missed some dependencies.
https://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Debian_packages_buildscript
I tried running this script, on Debian 7, as a standard user, and got many errors looking, and ending like: dpkg-genchanges -b
../freeswitch_1.2.11~n20130724T063426Z-1~wheezy+1_i386.changes dpkg-genchanges: binary-only upload - not including any source code dpkg-source --after-build freeswitch dpkg-buildpackage: binary only upload (no source included) richard@debian:~$ ect 'libfakeroot-sysv.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored. -bash: ect: command not found richard@debian:~$ ERROR: ld.so: object 'libfakeroot-sysv.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignore
Any ideas? I am going to test again with Debian 6 now. Richard
