I use freeswitch here all the time as my home pbx and it does things
asterisk either cannot do, or only with great difficulty.  I can even
put c# code in it using mono and a lot of times the xml is insufficient
and this is where this comes in handy.  There is a mailing list, so you
can ask questions as well.  Its one strength and also weakness is there
are a lot of variables, some of which are poorly documented, and some
not documented at all.

Same here. Would love to read this.

I ended up getting an appliance, rather than building it myself due to time and 
cost constraints.

But for a different location I am thinking of doing it myself. And from the

  It's not the cpu flags.  I have an identical glibc-based VM where the
drivers build just fine.  Also, this is a code problem... both with and
without "evdev"...

You already found my test load :)
Glad it helped someone.

Did you have/add "evdev" in "make.conf" for INPUT_DEVICES?
"evdev" is built-into-the-kernel or a kernel module. The newer input
function, augmenting/replacing the AT keyboard and /dev/psaux.
( Seems "evdev" is almost replacing the functions of "xf86-input"
libraries for Xorg.)


   No.  Do I have to set something in the kernel?  Will the keyboard work
with evdev and without xf86-input-keyboard?  My netbook uses framebuffer
video driver, so I might try using that in the uclibc VM.


What CPU flags did you set/unset for the build?

My reason for asking ... a lot of software has an unmarked dependency on
"sse/sse2". If the info on the Atom CPU I found was correct ... it
doesn't have sse/sse2 instruction sets.


   My Atom netbook has them, according to /proc/cpuinfo

flags   : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge
mca cmov pat clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx
constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts aperfmperf pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl
vmx est tm2 ssse3 xtpr pdcm movbe lahf_lm dtherm tpr_shadow vnmi
flexpriority

   Note also the "movbe" flag.  *I CANNOT TEST RUN MY NETBOOK-OPTIMIZED
CODE I BUILD IN THE QEMU VM*.  QEMU claims to emulate "Atom" CPUs.
There are over 100 different atoms in the periodic table known to
physicists, and Intel is just as bad, with all their "Atom" variants.
QEMU's "Atom" emulation does not support the "movbe" flag.  So I simply
run with the host CPU in a 32-bit VM, and set "-march=native".  When
building for the netbook, I build with "-march=bonnell".  Important
distinction...

different "-march" values != crossdev

   As long as the "CHOST" variable is identical, you can build for
different "-march" variants, even those that won't run in the build
environment.


Useful Info : https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Safe_CFLAGS


See also http://gentoo-en.vfose.ru/wiki/Safe_Cflags#-march.3Dnative

gcc -march=native -E -v - &1 | grep cc1

   Ignore all the fancy flags.  Both of those pages come up with output
that shows "-march=bonnell" on my Atom
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnell_%28microarchitecture%29

   I have a standard glibc 32-bit VM which I use for Gentoo distcc for
the Atom, as well as manually building Pale Moon web browser.  I use the
following settings for both...

CFLAGS="-O2 -march=bonnell -mfpmath=sse -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer \
-fno-unwind-tables -fno-asynchronous-unwind-tables"

CCFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

   "-march=bonnell" implies all the other flags, so no need to enter them
into the CFLAGS variable.

   Thanks for that initial post.  I had almost given up on even a minimal

Your Welcome.

Link for "evdev" : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evdev

The default kernel config has "evdev" built into the kernel.

On my desktop, Nvidia drivers do look for and use "evdev" without 
Wayland support in Xorg. ( XFCE )


This might be pedantic ...
... add "sse sse2 sse3 ssse3 mmx acpi -mmxext" to your USE flags in 
"make.conf" ( if not already present. ) Some packages look for those 
flags in strange ways.


Using a one-problem-at-a-time approach ...

< Proposed Test / Xorg Fix >
... adding "libinput" to the USE flags in your "make.conf".
... setting INPUT_DEVICES="evdev" in "make.conf".

Desktops that should work with "libinput/evdev" ONLY are QT4, QT5, XFCE.
XFCE provides its own keyboard library and config applets/plugins. Don't 
know about QT4 / QT5.


If you have not already done this ... might want to set 
VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev vesa" or just "fbdev" to save compile time.


This is getting very interesting.
Please let us know how this works out :)

Oddly, I had some google hits to that effect.  I can't recall exactly
what I was searching for but on one of them, I did see glibc mentioned
as the issue.  I just figured it would fail on other packages as well if
it was the problem so thought it unrelated.  Well, maybe it is after
all.  I dunno.  Good question. 

I seem to recall glibc being one of those packages that you can't
downgrade.  Sort of chicken to upgrade, just in case the problem gets
even worse.  Here's a little more info on my system.

Yea, I'm using a old kernel.  I haven't rebooted in a while now.  I just
wonder what that glibc 2.23-r2 would be like??  Anyone here took a drive
around the block with that version? 

I just synced again.  Going to see if anything changes or not but I
doubt it will.  I didn't see any changes to the qtwebkit ebuild.

I would also be interested (if it helps to know you'd have an audience).

I've been looking at freeswitch and asterisk for an OSTN implementation.
At a glance, freeswitch seemed like it might be the better design (but
surely experience tells the real story). I'll give kamailio a look now
too.

I have a couple of background "things" happening at the moment:

prelink and glibc: odd failures that make no sense - unprelink the
system and everything works fine (at some point you get a failure to
fork.)  I hit it when trying to build multiple lxc instances ... it

4.4.8 works fine (includes a number of btrfs fixes)

Either of those fit?

If the problem started Monday, ad you didn't flip any USE flags or other 
settings, then its a regression or other new issue; at the very least, it 
helps them to have that documented.

At the same time, 5.6.0 lookslike it's hardmasked right now; I only have 
5.5.1-r1 instealled, and that's after pushing plasma-meta and friends up to 
5.6.3. This might be one of those cases where you need to wait until the 
KDE4/5 transition stabilizes a bit more...

You already found my test load :)
Glad it helped someone.

Did you have/add "evdev" in "make.conf" for INPUT_DEVICES?
"evdev" is built-into-the-kernel or a kernel module. The newer input 
function, augmenting/replacing the AT keyboard and /dev/psaux.
( Seems "evdev" is almost replacing the functions of "xf86-input" 
libraries for Xorg.)


What CPU flags did you set/unset for the build?

My reason for asking ... a lot of software has an unmarked dependency on 
"sse/sse2". If the info on the Atom CPU I found was correct ... it 
doesn't have sse/sse2 instruction sets.


Useful Info : https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Safe_CFLAGS

Hope this helps.

I just did the configure, make, make install combination, it by

installs in /usr/local/freeswitch -- even the binaries, so its

are not in gentoo and must be gotten from their repository just to

There is the Freeswitch overlay available [1], also listed here [2], 
which can be added with layman. The provided ebuild is a little outdated 
though (1.6.2 vs currently 1.6.7). It can probably be adapted for the 
current version, but I havn't tried it yet.

​Dale,

Do you have debugging activated (ggdb in make.conf) ?

If yes, turn it off for qtwebkit!

I have a Freeswitch install on a (non-Gentoo) box at a client. That client has 
recently moved to a different PBX product. I will not willingly install another 
Freeswitch setup, and my full rant as to why would be a multi-part blog post.

My recommendation would be to use sip-proxy if it meets your needs, Asterisk 
or Kamailio if you need something heavier.

I have my system automatically update nightly, and check the build results in 
the morning. If there's a persistent build error for a couple days, I file a 
bug report. That's my threshold, anyway.

How do you install freeswitch, just a raw compile from sources? 
Or is there an ebuild somewhere that I   missed?

I been considering a roach report but I hate to since I seem to be the
only one running into it.  I've synced a couple times since it started
so whatever it is, it seems to be sticking around. 

I've done some googling but the only thing I find now, this thread.  I
did try to google some other ways but still found nothing helpful, as in
a solution. 

I'll give it another day or two and if after another sync the problem
remains, I'll file a roach report.

Thanks.

Why are you specifying root=/dev/ram0?

Modern kernels use initramfs and you normally specify the real root device 
there.

After googling for one of those linker errors, it looks to me like a bug in 
the order in which libraries are being called to be linked in. I'm no coder 
any more though (that was 40 years ago).

Thanks for the reply. Yes, boinc is running as me, as shown below, and I am
in the vboxusers group. Boinc is also in that group. All the files and
directories under ~/boinc and ~/.VirtualBox are owned prh:prh. But I've just
noticed that the files under ~/.VirtualBox are all 0600; I wonder if that's
thet problem: that the boinc user can't read them. But then boinc is running
as me, the owner of all the files involved.

I'm going round in circles again.
