While I don’t own a PPC box, I’d say you may want to get a full build log and submit this as a bug in JIRA.

In the mean time since it’s a -Werror, (and I may get murdered by Brian or Ken for this) you could find the Werror line inside configure.in, comment that line out, rebootstrap the tree and re-configure. Then give make a spin.

Subject: [Freeswitch-users] Freeswitch on PowerPC Ubuntu errors... possible?

I’m trying to build the latest Freeswitch from git on an old Mac PPC running Ubuntu 12.10 PPC. Having the following error(s) on make, but it’s kind of a strange setup, so I don’t know if it’s maybe just not possible or if I just need to tweak something or if maybe gcc is messed up. I get several errors like this:

error: type of bit-field 'x' is a GCC extension [-Werror=edantic]

...where 'x' is various things in different errors.

Is this is a quick fix or will it take some hacking? Was just messing around with this old Mac, so if it doesn't work, no big deal.

Thanks.

Jeff
