This is my first howto in english.

As I will release in some days, my project name pyfreebilling (wholesale voip platefom based on Freeswitch, PostgeSQL and Django), i write the first installation step : howto compile and install freeswitch / odbc and postgresql on debian wheezy.

Prerequisites

You need to install these packages :

apt-get install git-core build-essential autoconf automake libtool libncurses5 libncurses5-dev gawk libjpeg-dev zlib1g-dev pkg-config libssl-dev libpq-dev unixodbc-dev odbc-postgresql postgresql postgresql-client

Configuration

You download freeswitch using git :

git clone git://git.freeswitch.org/freeswitch.git

go to the new freeswitch directory and start bootstrap :

./bootstrap.sh

and configure :

./configure

After, you need to edit modules.conf to selected required modules. For pyfreebilling, you need these modules :

applications/mod_commands
applications/mod_db
applications/mod_dptools
applications/mod_esf
applications/mod_esl
applications/mod_expr
applications/mod_fifo
applications/mod_fsv
applications/mod_hash
applications/mod_memcache
applications/mod_nibblebill
applications/mod_spandsp
codecs/mod_amr
codecs/mod_bv
codecs/mod_b64
codecs/mod_g723_1
codecs/mod_g729
codecs/mod_h26x
codecs/mod_vp8
codecs/mod_ilbc
codecs/mod_speex
dialplans/mod_dialplan_xml
endpoints/mod_loopback
endpoints/mod_sofia
event_handlers/mod_cdr_pg_csv
event_handlers/mod_event_socket
formats/mod_local_stream
formats/mod_native_file
formats/mod_sndfile
formats/mod_tone_stream
languages/mod_lua
languages/mod_spidermonkey
#languages/mod_yaml
loggers/mod_console
loggers/mod_logfile
loggers/mod_syslog
xml_int/mod_xml_rpc
xml_int/mod_xml_scgi

you also need to edit the Makefile of cdr_pg_csv module. The file si located here : src/mod/event_handlers/mod_cdr_pg_csv/Makefile . Copy and past the following code :

UNAME := $(shell uname -s)
ifeq ($(UNAME),SunOS)
ISA64 := $(shell isainfo -n)
LOCAL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/postgresql
ifneq (,$(findstring m64,$(CFLAGS)))
LOCAL_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/pgsql-9.1/lib/$(ISA64) -R/usr/pgsql-9.1/lib/$(ISA64) -lpq -static
else
LOCAL_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/pgsql-9.1/lib -R/usr/pgsql-9.1/lib -lpq -static
endif
else
LOCAL_CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/postgresql
LOCAL_LDFLAGS=-L/usr/pgsql-9.1/lib -lpq -static
endif
include ../../../../build/modmake.rules

Compilation & installation

Now, we are ready for make, so do :

make & make install

Now we need to create a freeswitch user :

adduser --disabled-password  --quiet --system --home /usr/local/freeswitch --gecos "FreeSWITCH Voice Platform" --ingroup daemon freeswitch

and to apply the rule to freeswitch user :

chown -R freeswitch:daemon /usr/local/freeswitch/ 
chmod -R o-rwx /usr/local/freeswitch/

Init script

and now, we need to create the init script to start and stop freeswitch :

nano /etc/init.d/freeswitch
#!/bin/bash

        echo "Usage: $SCRIPTNAME {start|stop|restart|force-reload}" >&2
        exit 3
        ;;
esac

exit 0

mate this script executable :

chmod +x /etc/init.d/freeswitch
update-rc.d freeswitch defaults

And now ?

Enjoy !

But, don’t forget, you need to configure freeswitch and PostgreSQL (i will write an article explaining how to do)
