|
|
If using binary packages, remember that you need the development packages to
|
|
build forked-daapd (usually named -dev or -devel).
|
|
|
|
libavl is not the GNU libavl. There doesn't seem to be an upstream website
|
|
anymore, but you'll find the source tarball alongside the forked-daapd
|
|
release tarballs (see below for the URL). Alternatively, you can fetch it from
|
|
any Debian mirror, too (it'll be in /debian/pool/main/liba/libavl).
|
|
|
|
sqlite3 needs to be built with support for the unlock notify API; this isn't
|
|
always the case in binary packages, so you may need to rebuild sqlite3 to
|
|
enable the unlock notify API (you can check for the presence of the
|
|
sqlite3_unlock_notify symbol in the sqlite3 library). Refer to the sqlite3
|
|
documentation, look for SQLITE_ENABLE_UNLOCK_NOTIFY.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Note about libav (ffmpeg)
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
libav (ffmpeg) is a central piece of forked-daapd and most other FLOSS
|
|
multimedia applications. The version of libav you use will potentially have a
|
|
great influence on your experience with forked-daapd.
|
|
|
|
forked-daapd supports older versions of libav and ffmpeg, but for libav 0.8.x
|
|
is known to be working. If you use a new version of libav or ffmpeg you may
|
|
encounter issues with MP3 files with embedded artwork, as forked-daapd may
|
|
classify them as video files.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Building from the git tree
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
The source for this version of forked-daapd can be found here:
|
|
|
|
<https://github.com/ejurgensen/forked-daapd.git>
|
|
|
|
The original (now unmaintained) source can be found here:
|
|
|
|
<http://git.debian.org/?p=users/jblache/forked-daapd.git>
|
|
<http://alioth.debian.org/~jblache/forked-daapd/>
|
|
|
|
Required tools:
|
|
- ANTLR v3 is required to build forked-daapd, along with its C runtime
|
|
(libantlr3c). Use at least version 3.1.3 of ANTLR v3 and the matching
|
|
C runtime version.
|
|
|
|
- Java runtime: ANTLR is written in Java and as such a JRE is required to
|
|
run the tool. The JRE is enough, you don't need a full JDK.
|
|
|
|
- autotools: autoconf 2.63+, automake 1.10+, libtool 2.2. Run autoreconf -i
|
|
at the top of the source tree to generate the build system.
|
|
|
|
- gettext: libunistring requires iconv and gettext provides the autotools
|
|
macro definitions for iconv.
|
|
|
|
Start by generating the build system by running autoreconf -i. This will
|
|
generate the configure script and Makefile.in.
|
|
|
|
The configure script will look for a wrapper called antlr3 in the PATH to
|
|
invoke ANTLR3. If your installation of ANTLR3 does not come with such a
|
|
wrapper, create one as follows:
|
|
|
|
#!/bin/sh
|
|
CLASSPATH=...
|
|
exec /path/to/java -cp $CLASSPATH org.antlr.Tool "@"
|
|
|
|
Adjust the CLASSPATH as needed so that Java will find all the jars needed
|
|
by ANTLR3.
|
|
|
|
The parsers will be generated during the build, no manual intervention is
|
|
needed.
|
|
|
|
To display the configure options run ./configure --help
|
|
|
|
FLAC and Musepack support are optional. If not enabled, metadata extraction
|
|
will fail on these files.
|
|
|
|
Support for iTunes Music Library XML format is optional. Use --enable-itunes
|
|
to enable this feature.
|
|
|
|
Recommended build settings:
|
|
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-flac
|
|
|
|
After configure run the usual make, and if that went well, sudo make install
|
|
|
|
After installation, edit the configuration file, /etc/forked-daapd.conf and
|
|
adjust the values at your convenience.
|
|
|
|
forked-daapd will drop privileges to any user you'll specify in the
|
|
configuration file if it's started as root.
|
|
|
|
This user must have read permission on your library (you can create a group for
|
|
this and make the user a member of the group, for instance) and read/write
|
|
permissions on the database location ($localstatedir/cache/forked-daapd by
|
|
default).
|
|
|
|
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. Different distributions have different standards for
|
|
init scripts and some do not use init scripts anymore; check the documentation
|
|
for your distribution.
|
|
|
|
For dependency-based boot systems, here are the forked-daapd dependencies:
|
|
- local filesystems
|
|
- network filesystems, if needed in your setup (library on NFS, ...)
|
|
- networking
|
|
- NTP
|
|
- Avahi daemon
|
|
|

# Short-Description: media server with support for RSP, DAAP, DACP and AirTunes
|
|
# Description: forked-daapd is an iTunes-compatible media server for
|

|
|
# like iTunes. It can also stream music to AirTunes devices,
|
|
# and it can be controlled by Apple Remote (and compatibles).
