So I followed the instructions and it almost builds completely (========== Build: 33 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 up-to-date, 4 skipped ==========) 1. the only remaining error is: Compiling... mod_spidermonkey.c Compiling manifest to resources... Linking... LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'libetpan.lib' Build log was saved at "file://c:\cCode\fswitch\src\mod\languages\mod_spidermonkey\Debug\BuildLog.h tm" mod_spidermonkey - 1 error(s), 1 warning(s) The full output is attached as well (is being held for moderator approval - too large) 2. Also, is there a recommended set of tests that should be run to validate the build ?

Make sure you have an internet connection on your first build, it downloads some required files and creates switch_version.h after doing some version lookups that require access to the subversion repository. open up w32/vsnet/freeswitch.sln Select the main solution node at the top of the solution explorer Right Click -> select build. If you continue to have issues after that, can you paste the ENTIRE initial build log in so I can take a look and/or catch me on IRC and let me into the box to take a look. Also, I just commited the updates to the installer this morning that includes all the more recent modules, I hope to do a daily snapshot msi for download soon.

I didn't really see those instructions - and was getting errors like could not find windows.h -> anyway those got resolved by looking at this post (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=7004 <http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=7004&SiteID=1> &SiteID=1) and copying over files as suggested. 2. That got me past basic installation type errors. But then I hit errors like could not find switch_version.h -> I saw a file called switch_version.h.in so I renamed it 3. Then I got errors of the type to prevent FreeSwitchCoreLib from being created: c:\ccode\freeswitch\snapshot_freeswitch\src\switch_core.c(2875) : error C2275: 'switch_xml_t' : illegal use of this type as an expression c:\ccode\freeswitch\snapshot_freeswitch\src\include\switch_types.h(704) : see declaration of 'switch_xml_t' c:\ccode\freeswitch\snapshot_freeswitch\src\switch_core.c(2875) : error C2146: syntax error : missing ';' before identifier 'xml' c:\ccode\freeswitch\snapshot_freeswitch\src\switch_core.c(2875) : error C2065: 'xml' : undeclared identifier c:\ccode\freeswitch\snapshot_freeswitch\src\switch_core.c(2875) : warning C4047: '=' : 'int' differs in levels of indirection from 'void *' c:\ccode\freeswitch\snapshot_freeswitch\src\switch_core.c(2875) : error C2065: 'cfg' : undeclared identifier c:\ccode\freeswitch\snapshot_freeswitch\src\switch_core.c(2875) : warning C4047: '=' : 'int' differs in levels of indirection from 'void *' c:\ccode\freeswitch\snapshot_freeswitch\src\switch_core.c(2898) : warning C4047: 'function' : 'switch_xml_t *' differs in levels of indirection from 'int *__w64 ' c:\ccode\freeswitch\snapshot_freeswitch\src\switch_core.c(2898) : warning C4024: 'switch_xml_open_cfg' : different types for formal and actual parameter 2 c:\ccode\freeswitch\snapshot_freeswitch\src\switch_core.c(2898) : warning C4047: '=' : 'int' differs in levels of indirection from 'switch_xml_t' c:\ccode\freeswitch\snapshot_freeswitch\src\switch_core.c(2901) : warning C4047: 'function' : 'switch_xml_t' differs in levels of indirection from 'int' c:\ccode\freeswitch\snapshot_freeswitch\src\switch_core.c(2901) : warning C4024: 'switch_xml_child' : different types for formal and actual parameter 1 c:\ccode\freeswitch\snapshot_freeswitch\src\switch_core.c(2911) : warning C4047: 'function' : 'switch_xml_t' differs in levels of indirection from 'int' c:\ccode\freeswitch\snapshot_freeswitch\src\switch_core.c(2911) : warning C4024: 'switch_xml_free' : different types for formal and actual parameter 1 switch_loadable_module.c c:\ccode\freeswitch\snapshot_freeswitch\src\switch_loadable_module.c(671) : error C2220: warning treated as error - no 'object' file generated c:\ccode\freeswitch\snapshot_freeswitch\src\switch_loadable_module.c(671) : warning C4244: '=' : conversion from '__w64 int' to 'uint32_t', possible loss of data c:\ccode\freeswitch\snapshot_freeswitch\src\switch_loadable_module.c(686) : warning C4389: '==' : signed/unsigned mismatch Any insight will be much appreciated.
