New subject: Kamailio 4.0.2 as a new Port for FreeBSD

21 Sep 2014

Hello,

The port has just been committed to the FreeBSD ports tree and has been
mapped to:

/usr/ports/net/kamailio

It can be compiled and installed with FreeBSD's traditional:

# make install clean

It compiles on 8.x, 9.x and 10.x for the i386 and x86-64 architectures.
Possibly for the others archs too, but they to my knowing haven't been
thoroughly tested so far. We'll find out on the way. The way things look, I
will be the ports defacto maintainer.

After finishing my first draft of the port about a year ago, I ran a few
tests between a Kamailio server on FreeBSD and a Windows host using
MySQL as a phonebook and Jitsi as a frontend GUI. From the Kamailio point
of view, things worked fine, however, the only problem was, that I wasn't
really able to test voice functionality, since jitsi had some problems
accessing soundcard features on FreeBSD. Maybe things have changed since
then and/or this will give rise to new research in this area.

In case you are interested and for your cross-reference, you can find the
entire discussion that took place concerning the port here:

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=181301

Moreover, to this e-mail attached, you will find a shell archive
(kamailio.shar) of the port the way it has been mapped into the ports tree.

Enjoy using Kamailio on FreeBSD!

  Hello,

 I am currently working on porting Kamailio 4.0.2 to the
 FreeBSD ports collection: /usr/ports, and I just have a
 few general questions regarding compilation with regard
 to the extra modules.

 There are 172 modules that come with Kamailio, and most,
 however not all of them are compiled by default:

 # gmake all

 The base server and the base modules compile fine on
 my 9.1 release.

 To really compile all of the 172 modules, Kamailio_4_0_2/INSTALL
 says that the following external libraries (LIB_DEPENDS I assume)
 are needed:

 /usr/ports/databases/mysql-client-*
 /usr/ports/databases/postgresql-libpqxx
 /usr/ports/textproc/expat2
 /usr/ports/textproc/libxml2
 /usr/ports/net/radiusclient

 This is put down as information for FreeBSD 5.4. Does that still hold
 current for 9.1?

 Is there an exhaustive list of all the modules that the all target
 does/does not compile and - apart from mysql, postgresql - which of the
 extra modules require which libraries?

 I would set compile time options accordingly.

 This would greatly facilitate my work!
  one file to look in is Makefile.groups, there you will see lists with
 modules organized by common dependencies. In debian, the packages are
 generated for each module_group_k... Each such group includes a list of
 modules defined in the same file.

 There are some comments giving hints about dependecies, but a better place
 is to look in the README of the module, where is a dedicated section for
 such details.

 We had some ports done long time ago, you find them in sources
 pkg/kamailio/.If you get up to date version, we can replace the old one in
 our repository as well.

 Cheers,
 Daniel
