Hi.

I'm playing with FreeSwitch and trying to get it to do something it currently
doesn't, therefore I need to modify the source code and recompile.

I've downloaded the source Debian package and I can build it (so far without
modifications, just to check I'm building something that works the same as the
standard release).

However, this then results in 347 .deb binary packages being left in a
directory on my local machine.

Looking on a machine where I've done a "standard" installation of the binary
package/s, I find that around 120 have been installed (based on the
dependencies starting from the "freeswitch-meta-all" package, which is what I
told apt to do).

So, to install the .deb files I now have on my local machine, "dpkg -i" will
install whatever I tell it to, with no consideration about dependencies.

"apt" will install packages with their dependencies but (as far as I know) not
from files on the local machine - only from some properly-structured repository
listed in sources.list

So, does anyone know what tool I can use to install "freeswitch-meta-all" and
its required dependencies, when those .debs now exist in a directory on my
local machine?


Thanks,


Antony.
