[Freeswitch-users] Latest production release for Windows

Thu Jul 21 00:09:53 MSD 2016

Well we are almost in the same boat. Regarding freeswitch compile on 
Windows it's very simply, just clone the source to a folder and then simply 
run the visual studio 2015 solution and select x86 or x64 and hit compile 
and done. I prefer the x86 because the x64 has some issue with few of the 
modules which don't compile and hardly any work goes into porting the 
remaining modules for Windows, no complaints though as I understand windows 
is considered the last priority platform for the devs.

I totally agree windows 10 being a lot better than older windows and I 
hardly have to complain about anything not working as expected because so 
far everything seems to work a lot better on it and it's a shame it's still 
not considered as a main stream platform for devs for almost any other 
project, specifically kamailio which I just wished was made to work like 
freeswitch on Windows.
