This file describes how you compile komssys when you use CVS
Warnings
========
Please note that "make install" is currently buggy. It seems that the make
environment will install to /usr/local/kde whatever you do.
Required tools
==============
Common tools
The following are used for the komssys make environment:
perl
GNU make
m4 (may be GNU m4)
autoconf
automake
My versions: make 3.80, autoconf 2.59, automake 1.9.1
Furthermore
flex
bison
expat
My versions: flex 2.5.4, bison 1.875, expat 1.19.8
For the client
mplayer source code
You need a particular version. It must fit the youngest patch file
that you find in rtsp/clientd.
My version: MPlayer-1.0pre5.patch
And for the documentation
doxygen
dot (by AT&T, part of graphviz)
My versions: doxygen 1.3.8, graphviz 1.12
Linux
This is tested on SuSE 9.2, ...
gcc 3.3.4
Getting it
==========
Extract the latest version from the Sourceforge CVS, e.g.
> cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.komssys.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/komssys login
Type return as password
> cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.komssys.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/komssys co komssys
Compiling server/proxy
==========================
> cd komssys
> aclocal
> automake --add-missing
> autoheader
> automake
> autoconf
Maybe you could call autoheader before automake to avoid calling automake twice?
I'm not sure - feedback is welcome. Now find your installed packages, in order
to call configure. Make your target directory to keep the source tree clean.
> mkdir LINUX
> cd LINUX
> ../configure --prefix=/somewhere/else --enable-debug
> make
If you use the jobserver, you may have to run make several times because
we have botched a few dependency checks concerning dynamically generated
header files.
> make install
Don't! If you make install, the target files may end up elsewhere.
Compiling the client
====================
Make the server first. Then make all preparations for compiling MPlayer according to
the MPlayer documentation. Compile and install all libraries and tools that MPlayer
uses except for LIVE.COM. Apply the patch.
Configure mplayer like this
> configure --with-komssys \
--with-komssyslibdir=<path to komssys build directory> \
<all other mplayer options>
You may have to use
> export INCLUDE="-I<path to komssys src directory>"
before calling configure or to add
--with-extra-includes="-I<path to komssys src directory>"
in the configure line to help mplayer find the komssys header files. Unfortunately
you need a lot of them for a successful compile for now.
Note that the --with-komssys switches will not even show when you use
configure --help after applying the patch. That is intentional.
Make mplayer.
The result should be an mplayer that uses komssys instead of LIVE.COM when you use a
URL that starts with rtsp://
If you want to be sure, switch the information and warning messages in the client section
of medianode.xml on and you should see a lot of output.
