Warning

Please NOTE that Debian 9 “Stretch” is now officially supported by

Fs

.

Debian 8 "Jessie" is was the reference platform for

Fs

as of version 1.6 and is STRONGLY recommended for all applications due to its stability and broad support for the system libraries needed by FreeSWITCH.

Building from source

Please use the instructions on the FreeSWITCH 1.6 Video page.

Info

2016.02.14 — Please note this important change that went into Master today. As of today, we are no longer using system versions of libyuv and libvpx due to major conflicts with system versions of these libraries. These are now built static into the freeswitch core. Also note, mod_vpx no longer exists, it is automatically loaded as part of the core and you will no longer have mod_vpx.so nor have to load it manually. I'll have more details coming, but let me know if you have any questions.

Please note for anyone doing cross compiling, this probably means a bit more work for you, I'll be working on fixing that this week.

The master branch depends on video different libraries which are not available as packages in Debian distribution, but are available from FreeSWITCH repository. Thus, you will need internet access to import the FreeSWITCH DEB repository PGP key and use the supplied sources.list file.
