It was created in 2006 to +fill the void left by proprietary commercial solutions. FreeSWITCH also +provides a stable telephony platform on which many telephony applications +can be developed using a wide range of free tools. + +Unlike other SlackBuilds which have a /usr installation prefix, this +script will install FreeSWITCH to /opt/freeswitch instatead. This is done +to simplify the build process since FreeSWITCH attemps to install itself +into many non-standard directories in the prefix directory. Therefore, it +is installed as a self-contained and easily-removable location in /opt. + +This script also expects there to be a user and group called "freeswitch", +with uid and gid of 269 (see http://slackbuilds.org/uid_gid.txt): +# groupadd -g 269 freeswitch +# useradd -u 269 -d /opt/freeswitch -s /bin/bash -g freeswitch freeswitch + +If you execute the script without creating this user and group, it won't +build the FreeSWITCH package. + +To enable building with PostgreSQL support, use: +# PGSQL=yes ./freeswitch.SlackBuild + +To disable building with Python support, use: +# PYTHON=no ./freeswitch.SlackBuild |
