Authoring Freeswitch Modules

(work in progress)

Before You Begin...

Start with a fresh trunk checkout
Ensure that the functionality you're looking for has not already been implemented somewhere else
- Collaborate with the original authors if there is something very close that just needs a minor change to accommodate what you need
Review the bundled modules in freeswitch.trunk/src/mod/applications, particularly mod_skel and mod_ivrtest

Create your own module directory under freeswitch.trunk/src/mod/applications
Copy the skeleton from freeswitch.trunk/src/mod/applications/mod_skel/mod_skel.c to mod_yourmodule.c
Edit as appropriate
Add your module to the list of available modules in freeswitch.trunk/modules.conf

The first time you perform a 'make' from freeswitch.trunk, a Makefile will be generated for your module

If you wish to use functionality from the libraries bundled with FreeSwitch, you might add something like this to your module's Makefile:

LOCAL_CFLAGS=-I$(switch_srcdir)/libs/libteletone/src
LOCAL_LDFLAGS=$(switch_srcdir)/libs/libteletone/libteletone.la
