./tvheadend (in build.linux directory)

try "make install"

Please read instructions on wiki. Ensure your running from root of source, ie ./build/tvheadend. And don't do make install unless you understand the consequences.

Sorry for the short answer earlier, I was on my phone.

If you want to install to run as a service etc.. You would be much better trying to build a package, if you're using Ubuntu instructions for building debs are here

Personally I don't like using "make install" due to its lack of traceability, unlike packages which can be tracked fully.

Adam

Ok

I tried to do it all according to the instructions. I stay with 2.12 until the problems are solved. Thanks all for the effort of doing a very good DVB streaming software.,...

Fedora 16, 64 bit....

This is not a problem with tvh. It's a problem with the way you are running it.

Just to check you are running from git root?

I.e. you type ./build.linux/tvheadend to run.

PS
I will try and create a up to date rpm spec in near future.

Spent some time with doing an rpm (did use version 3.0) for Fedora 16. Did a new spec (re-used some parts) file and included systemd control for start/stop. First time doing this so probably missed some parts !?. Installation went good so hopefully everything will work ok....

• Thu Sep 11 2012 Bengt Madeberg <[email protected]> - 3.0.0.g5084ca6
  - initial build for fedora 16

Feel free to submit a PR on github and I'll look at updating the RPM spec file. I was going to do it myself as I've plenty of experience with RPM SPECs but I've just not had the time.
