Building freeswitch on Opensolaris Nevada

Michal Bielicki — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 18:55:27 +0000

OpenSolaris Nevada

This is the distribution from the opensolaris.org guys, do not mix that up with os200805 which is the new OpenSolaris based distro from SUN.

Select your development user. I will assume for the time being that the user is called freeswitch.
Create the target directory for freeswitch

mkdir /opt/freeswitch; chown freeswitch /opt/freeswitch

Give your build and development user software installation rights

usermod -P "Software Installation" freeswitch

log out and log back in as the freeswitch user (so that the new permissions become active)

download and unpack the new jds-cbe beta package:

/usr/sfw/bin/wget http://dlc.sun.com/osol/jds/downloads/cbe/test/desktop-cbe-1.7.0-rc1-x86.tar.bz2
gtar xvfz desktop-cbe-1.7.0-rc1-x86.tar.bz2"

Install JDS-CBE

cd desktop-cbe-1.7.0-rc1
./cbe-install

leave everything as default. Select the SunStudio compiler as your default compiler.

Download the spec-files-extra repository into a subdirectory called SFE

svn co https://pkgbuild.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/pkgbuild/spec-files-extra/trunk SFE

Load the jds-cbe environment

. /opt/dtbld/bin/env.sh

Compile and install SFEunixodbc

cd SFE
pkgtool --download build SFEunixodbc.spec

Download freeswitch trunk

svn co http://svn.freeswitch.org/svn/freeswitch/trunk fstrunk

Prepare the freeswitch sources

cd fstrunk; ./bootstrap.sh

and edit the modules.conf file to select which modules you would like to have installed

vim modules.conf

Configure freeswitch sources for 64bit and let the c compiler apply some optimization

CFLAGS="-m64 -fast" CXXFLAGS="-m64 -fast" LDFLAGS="-m64" ./configure --prefix=/opt/freeswitch \

--enable-core-odbc-support --enable-core-libedit-support \

--enable-64 --with-openssl=/usr/sfw

or for 32bit

CFLAGS="-m32 -fast" CXXYFLAGS="-m32 -fast" LDFLAGS="-m32" ./configure --prefix=/opt/freeswitch \

--enable-core-odbc-support --enable-core-libedit-support \

--with-openssl=/usr/sfw

Drink a cup of coffee

run make

gmake

Install freeswitch into its target directory

gmake install

You are done

One of those days I will finish my SFE package than it will be even easier

Nice writeup about how to make your MacBookPro multiboot Opensolaris and MacOS/X

Michal Bielicki — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 19:55:33 +0000

Brian Leonard did a perfect writeup for people who would like to have their MacBook Pro multiboot Opensolaris 200805 and MacOS/X. You can find his Blog entry here. Took me a bit longer to find all this without his writeup so go there if you want a config like that, it will save you a lot of trouble

The one problem with Live Upgrade on SPARC

Michal Bielicki — Fri, 16 May 2008 21:35:47 +0000

Imagine you just did your live upgrade on your SPARC after of course studying this or this and of course reading this and this, tested it and activated it and all seems ok …… but it always seems to boot back into the old environment, you got hit by luactivate being unable to change your boot settings cause your setting of:

diag-switch?

is set to true.

a simple setting of:

eeprom boot-device?=false

fixes that and allows live upgrade to handle its stuff like it should.

MilaX is a small size Live CD distribution which runs completely off a
CD or a USB pendrive. It is based on Solaris Nevada and includes its
basic features. What originally started as an experiment to see how
much Solaris software could fit in miniCD eventually became a
full-fledged OpenSolaris distribution. MilaX also it is possible to use
as Rescue-CD. It can be installed on storage media with small
capacities, like bootable business cards, USB flash drives, various
memory cards, and Zip drives. MilaX is free to use, modify and
distribute.
