Introduction

The following instructions apply to Fedora Core (FC5, FC6, F7 and F8) as well as Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL5) and CentOS 5.

For CentOS 4 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (RHEL4): Setting up a development environment for RHEL4 and CentOS4

NOTES

System Setup Prerequisites

Install Linux with SELinux and Firewall off (unless you know what you are doing). These instructions will assume you've installed the minimal package (e.g. No X libraries, compiler, etc). If you've installed more, that's ok, some of the dependencies you'll be asked to install will simply be ignored by the yum install command.

Disable Firewall

Using the Setup Agent run the firewall configuration tool and disable the Linux firewall. If you want to disable the firewall after the installation finished use this command: system-config-securitylevel-tui.

Disable SELinux

SELinux has to be disabled for sipXecs because there is currently no selinux policy file availabe. Fedora and CentOS by default enables SELinux.

File: /etc/selinux/config 
SELINUX=disabled

Install Build Tools and Dependencies 

yum install gcc gcc-c++ autoconf automake libtool subversion doxygen rpm-build zip \
 httpd-devel openssl-devel jpackage-utils which unzip \
 pcre-devel expat-devel unixODBC-devel createrepo \
 jakarta-commons-beanutils jakarta-commons-collections jakarta-commons-net \
 ant log4j junit ant-commons-logging ant-junit ant-trax ant-nodeps \
 mod_ssl postgresql-server libXp zlib-devel postgresql-devel ruby ruby-devel

To build dependencies under /lib you will also need: 

yum install libpng-devel libart_lgpl-devel freetype freetype-devel oro
wget ftp://mirror.switch.ch/pool/1/mirror/epel/5/x86_64/scons-0.98.1-1.el5.noarch.rpm
rpm -i scons-0.98.1-1.el5.noarch.rpm

Note: On Fedora also install rpmdevtools. On CentOS install redhat-rpm-config. 

yum install rpmdevtools redhat-rpm-config

Additional build dependencies to build the FreeSWITCH conferencing server 

yum install alsa-lib-devel curl-devel gnutls-devel lzo-devel gdbm-devel \
 mysql-devel ncurses-devel python-devel termcap

Installing Remaining Dependencies

Remaining dependencies are dependencies not available from a standard repository. For the most common platforms you can download pre-built dependencies from SIPfoundry. If you are building on a platform not available on SIPfoundry, see Building dependencies. Don't forget to install the gems once the dependencies are built and installed.

Fedora 6 or greater: 

 yum install rubygems rubygem-rake ruby-postgres w3c-libwww-devel cppunit-devel xerces-c-devel
 gem install file-tail     (run this twice if it fails the first time)

Install dependencies not available in Fedora standard repositories. Alternatively you can build these yourself see Building dependencies 

 sh -c "wget -P /etc/yum.repos.d http://sipxecs.sipfoundry.org/temp/sipXecs/sipxecs-unstable-fc.repo"
 yum install cgicc-devel java-1.6.0-sun-devel ruby-dbi nsis sipx-jasperreports-deps

CentOS5/ RHEL5: 

sh -c "wget -P /etc/yum.repos.d http://sipxecs.sipfoundry.org/temp/sipXecs/sipxecs-unstable-centos.repo"
yum install cgicc-devel java-1.6.0-sun-devel ruby-dbi rubygems w3c-libwww-devel cppunit ruby-postgres xerces-c-devel \
jakarta-commons-net nsis
gem install rake 
gem install file-tail

If you want to run unit tests you'll also need named (tests will be skipped if named is not found): 

yum install bind
