             Summary: [patch] install_prereq: Update FreeBSD libraries.
                 Key: ASTERISK-27686
                 URL: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-27686
             Project: Asterisk
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: None
          Components: Core/BuildSystem
    Affects Versions: 13.19.1
         Environment: FreeBSD 11.1
            Reporter: Alexander Traud
            Severity: Trivial


The script {{./contrib/scripts/install_prereq}} allows the first-time user to install the required libraries to compile all Asterisk modules. Therefore, the list of libraries should be up-to-date with the current development of Asterisk. Especially novice users get frustrated when that script fails or is not complete: 'If the Asterisk community does not know it, how should I?'

After tests in FreeBSD 11.1 the following differences to Ubuntu were revealed (see ASTERISK-27555):

*newly added*:
* Hoard
* WebRTC iLBC 2.0

*undetected* by {{./configure}}
* libbfd, see ASTERISK-27641
* cclient, see ASTERISK-27639
* lua, see ASTERISK-27638

Although these ports are not leveraged by the script ./configure, they were still added. One day, those issues might be solved.

*not added* because not found:
* libresample, not API compatible with libsamplerate either
* libSRTP2, FreeBSD is still using the original libSRTP
* Open Settlement Protocol Toolkit (OSPTK)
* Voicetronix (libvpb)

*not added*:
* bash, see ASTERISK-27606
* Bluetooth, base is not BlueZ and would require porting
* gcc, because base compiler is installed already (clang)
* jackit

The module app_jack -- the only module which requires jackit -- requires libresample as well. libresample was not found. Therefore, no reason was found to install jackit, although that is available as port.

Currently after installing the proposed list, Asterisk is not made because of net-snmp, see ASTERISK-27629.
