How to test DSS from sources in Ubuntu

http://www.doutdex.com/blog/2008/03/12/install-instalar-darwin-streaming-server-555-dss-in-ubuntu/

Hello guys after two hours trying to install the server finally i finished!!

The steps:

1. Make sure that you have: libc6-dev linux-libc-dev gcc-3.3 g++-3.3, if not:
sudo apt-get install libc6-dev linux-libc-dev gcc-3.3 g++-3.3

2.Download the sourcecode of DSS-Source-,but before you should create an account in www.apple/developer to download DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5.5-Source.

3. Extract the file directory:
tar xzf DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5.5-Source.tar.gz DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5.5-Source

4. Create a group and user for Darwin:
sudo addgroup --system qtss
sudo adduser --system --no-create-home --ingroup qtss qtss


4.1 Not necessary,but if you want change password to qtss (user) for example “xx”
sudo passwd qtss

5. Enter to “DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5.5-Source” directory and type:
./Buildit install

With this command start to compile DSS and creates a new directory called “DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5.5-Linux”

6. Enter to “DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5.5-Linux and type:
sudo ./Install

The command will show:

Removing previous versions of Darwin Streaming Server
removing /usr/local/sbin/DarwinStreamingServer

Backing up previous config files
backing up /etc/streaming/streamingserver.xml to /etc/streaming/streamingserver.xml.backup
backing up /etc/streaming/qtusers to /etc/streaming/qtusers.backup
backing up /etc/streaming/qtgroups to /etc/streaming/qtgroups.backup

Inserting path to perl into scripts..

Creating unprivileged user to run the server = “qtss”.
