Building

baresip is using GNU makefiles, and the following packages must be installed before building:

• libre
• librem
• openssl

Build with debug enabled

$ make
$ sudo make install

Build with release

$ make RELEASE=1
$ sudo make RELEASE=1 install

Build with clang compiler

$ make CC=clang
$ sudo make CC=clang install

Modules will be built if external dependencies are installed. After building you can start baresip like this:

$ baresip

The config files in $HOME/.baresip are automatically generated the first time you run baresip.

Documentation

The online documentation generated with doxygen is available in the main website

Examples

Configuration examples are available from the examples directory.
