Compiling and install Darwin Streaming Server on Ubuntu 10.x

Quick tutorial for installing DSS on Ubuntu 8.04.1 64bit (x86_64).

Most of these details can be found here: http://dss.macosforge.org/trac/ticket/6

Hopefully they will integrate these patches in to the next release, but until then here are the build instructions for Ubuntu:

Download DSS 6.0.3: http://static.macosforge.org/dss/downloads/DarwinStreamingSrvr6.0.3-Source.tar

Download this patch: http://dss.macosforge.org/trac/raw-attachment/ticket/6/dss-6.0.3.patch (Thank you Sverker Abrahamsson!)

And this patch: http://dss.macosforge.org/trac/raw-attachment/ticket/6/dss-hh-20080728-1.patch

Finally get the modified Install script: http://dss.macosforge.org/trac/raw-attachment/ticket/6/Install

The basic process is:

1. Get the build dependencies from the repositories.
2. Set up the qtss user (this is because the Install script does it in a way that is incompatible with Ubuntu)
3. Extract the source code.
4. Apply both patches.
5. Replace the Install script and chmod +x it.
6. Compile.
7. Install.

Notably for ssl admin you need the openssl and libnet-ssleay-perl packages, unfortunately even with these packages I was unable to get ssl admin to work.

I created the modified Install script; you can do a diff with the original if you want to see what I changed. Mostly just the paths were broken, but I am guessing that some other modules and such will probably not work.

You can create script file like below or input command step by step:
#!/bin/bash
# install build-essential, wget and patch
sudo apt-get install build-essential wget patch
sudo addgroup --system qtss
sudo adduser --system --no-create-home --ingroup qtss qtss

#download DarwinStreamingSrvr6.0.3-Source.tar from macosforge
wget http://static.macosforge.org/dss/downloads/DarwinStreamingSrvr6.0.3-Source.tar

#extract tar file
tar -xvf DarwinStreamingSrvr6.0.3-Source.tar

#rename
sudo mv DarwinStreamingSrvr6.0.3-Source DarwinStreamingSrvr6.0.3-Source.orig

#download patch file
wget http://dss.macosforge.org/trac/raw-attachment/ticket/6/dss-6.0.3.patch

#run patch file
sudo patch -p0 < dss-6.0.3.patch
sudo mv DarwinStreamingSrvr6.0.3-Source.orig DarwinStreamingSrvr6.0.3-Source
wget http://dss.macosforge.org/trac/raw-attachment/ticket/6/dss-hh-20080728-1.patch
sudo patch -p0 < dss-hh-20080728-1.patch

#need to answer n then y
cd DarwinStreamingSrvr6.0.3-Source
sudo mv Install Install.orig
wget http://dss.macosforge.org/trac/raw-attachment/ticket/6/Install
chmod +x Install

# compile
sudo ./Buildit

# and install
Sudo ./Install


wget http://dss.macosforge.org/trac/raw-attachment/ticket/6/darwin-streaming-server
chmod +x darwin-streaming-server
sudo cp darwin-streaming-server /etc/init.d/darwin-streaming-server
sudo update-rc.d darwin-streaming-server defaults


after installing you can use this command to check it
ps -Af | grep -i stream
and
netstat -taunp | grep Darwin
check port and kill program:
killall "program name"
kill "ps name"
fuser -k -n tcp "number port"
