There are lot of guides about installing FreeSwitch on Debian\/Ubuntu. The official guide is at http:\/\/wiki.freeswitch.org\/wiki\/Installation_Guide#Debian_Linux<\/a> and another is at howtoforge<\/a>. Ubuntu has deb packages even and we may use apt-get install (so easy). Debian lenny does not have bin packages. So we will install the freeswitch from the source.<\/p>\n

Install prerequisities<\/h2>\n

During the process of compilation we may use any of following packages, so we will install them<\/p>\n

\r\napt-get install subversion git-core build-essential automake autoconf libtool wget make libncurses5 libncurses5-dev  \\\r\n                libgdbm-dev libdb-dev libperl-dev zlib1g-dev libtiff4-dev libjpeg62-dev debhelper         \\\r\n                unixodbc-dev libasound2-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libssl-dev libogg-dev libvorbis-dev      \\\r\n                libgdbm-dev libgnutls-dev devscripts curl pkg-config\r\n<\/pre>\n
Downloading source files<\/h2>\n
We download SVN files from the freeswitch.org (aprox. 300MB), so it wil take a while (freeswitch version 1.0.4)<\/p>\n
\r\ncd \/usr\/src\/\r\nsvn checkout http:\/\/svn.freeswitch.org\/svn\/freeswitch\/trunk freeswitch\r\n<\/pre>\n
Building binaries<\/h2>\n
Go to the folder containing source files<\/p>\n
\r\ncd freeswitch\r\n<\/pre>\n
Check dependencies, if something are missing, install it<\/p>\n
\r\ndpkg-checkbuilddeps\r\ndpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: libx11-dev uuid-dev\r\n<\/pre>\n
In my case it is missing libx11-dev and uuid-dev, so i’ll install them<\/p>\n
\r\napt-get install libx11-dev uuid-dev\r\n<\/pre>\n
now it should be Ok<\/p>\n
\r\nserver:\/usr\/src\/freeswitch# dpkg-checkbuilddeps\r\nserver:\/usr\/src\/freeswitch#\r\n<\/pre>\n
now we start building packages, I’m using xen virtual server (2xCPU and 512MB of RAM, so it will take a while, preciselly 3,5 hours<\/p>\n
\r\n dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot\r\n<\/pre>\n
or<\/p>\n
\r\ndebuild -i -us -uc -b\r\n<\/pre>\n
When the process have finished, one folder up we will find deb packages, which we should install now. The folder with src files we may remve now (\/usr\/src\/freeswitch)<\/p>\n

Comparing to the guide which talks about following packages<\/p>\n

I’m missing all freeswitch-sound* packages<\/p>\n
Installing packages<\/h2>\n
Now we will install binary packages, I will install all with en lang and excepting other lang packages<\/p>\n
\r\ndpkg -i freeswitch_1.0.4-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb freeswitch-codec-passthru-amr_1.0.4-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb  \/\r\nfreeswitch-codec-passthru-g7231_1.0.4-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb freeswitch-codec-passthru-g729_1.0.4-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb   \/ \r\nfreeswitch-dbg_1.0.4-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb freeswitch-dev_1.0.4-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb   \/\r\nfreeswitch-lang-en_1.0.4-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb freeswitch-lua_1.0.4-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb   \/\r\nfreeswitch-perl_1.0.4-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb freeswitch-spidermonkey_1.0.4-1ubuntu2_amd64.deb\r\n<\/pre>\n
Setting up FreeSWITCH server<\/h2>\n
we need to initiate freeswitch daemon and during installation of freeswitch packages we are informed about that<\/p>\n
\r\nFreeSwitch Voice Switching System not enabled yet. Edit \/etc\/default\/freeswitch first.\r\n<\/pre>\n
so open the file and change FREESWITCH_ENABLED parameters from false to true<\/p>\n
\r\nvim \/etc\/default\/freeswitch\r\n<\/pre>\n
\r\n# Startup settings for FreeSWITCH\r\n\r\n# Enable initd (let init handle start and stop of freeswitch).\r\n# Set to "true" (lowercase) to enable.\r\n\r\nFREESWITCH_ENABLED="true"\r\n<\/pre>\n
now we may start the freeswitch service<\/p>\n
\r\nserver:\/home\/palo\/freeswitch# \/etc\/init.d\/freeswitch start\r\nserver:\/home\/palo\/freeswitch# 17626 Backgrounding.<\/pre>\n
we should check if the freeswitch is running (new command for me)<\/p>\n
