Re: [Linphone-users] Difficulty building linphone for FreeBSD 7

[alex]

Check my posts in the mailing lists (browse the archive), I had some 
issues too which required a bit of mucking around to overcome.
I ran into this problem too. And eventually I got it to build. I have 
stopped using the program because of an issue with CPU usage, I am 
waiting for some
feedback from him on this from the author.

In regards to the issues you had (which I had)

remove the alloca.h, I added #include <stdlib.h> to overcome this.

these functions are prototyped in stdlib.h on freebsd and not alloca.h, 
I made simon aware of this and the next build should see the end of this 
and the
config.h problem.

libavcodec... pkg_add -r ffmpeg (i think)

in regards to disabling video, I built with this:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local --disable-video --disable-nls

disable nls, I got errors because libraries that linphone was trying to 
link against, were built without nls support, and causing linker errors 
during the build.

Hope this helps. Theres no SET of build instructions for BSD in general.
