Installation instructions for forked-daapd
|
|
|
|
|
------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Required tools:
|
|
|
|
|
- ANTLR v3 is required to build forked-daapd, along with its C runtime
|
|
|
|
|
(libantlr3c). Use at least version 3.1.x of ANTLR v3 and the matching
|
2009-12-13 03:49:43 -05:00
|
|
|
C runtime version. Version 3.1.3 is recommended.

|
2009-12-13 03:51:48 -05:00
|
|
|
- autotools: autoconf 2.65, automake 1.10+, libtool 2.2. Run autoreconf -i
|
|
|
|
|
at the top of the source tree to generate the build system.

|
|
|
The configure script will look for a wrapper called antlr3 in the PATH to
|
|
|
|
|
invoke ANTLR. If it doesn't exist, it'll try to invoke ANTLR directly with
|
|
|
|
|
'java org.antlr.Tool'; make sure your CLASSPATH is set properly, and if it
|
|
|
|
|
doesn't work, just create the wrapper somewhere in your PATH.

libavl is not the GNU libavl. There doesn't seem to be an upstream website
|
|
|
|
|
anymore, but you can fetch it from any Debian mirror for instance (it'll be
|
|
|
|
|
in /debian/pool/main/liba/libavl).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
FLAC and Musepack support are optional. If not enabled, metadata extraction
|
|
|
|
|
will fail on these files.
|

|
|
|
Support for iTunes Music Library XML format is optional. Use --enable-itunes
|
|
|
|
|
to enable this feature.

|
Recommended build settings:
|
|
|
|
|
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-flac --enable-musepack
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After installation, edit the configuration file, /etc/forked-daapd.conf and
|
|
|
|
|
adjust the values at your convenience.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
forked-daapd will drop privileges to any user you'll specify in the
|
|
|
|
|
configuration file if it's started as root. It's recommended to create a
|
|
|
|
|
dedicated user without login privileges. That user must have read permissions
|
|
|
|
|
on your library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You'll need an init script if you want to start forked-daapd at boot. A simple
|
|
|
|
|
init script will do, forked-daapd daemonizes all by itself and creates a
|
|
|
|
|
pidfile under /var/run.
