5 3 Adam Sutton
Before you can build Tvheadend you will need several packages installed on your development machine.

The specific details will vary between distributions so we only cover the major ones here.

h4. Redhat/Centos/Fedora Build assumptions
23 13 Bob Lightfoot
24 12 Bob Lightfoot
<pre>
25
Redhat/Centos/Fedora are a package managed OS and as such tvheadend should be installed from an rpm on a production system.  
26
This set of instructions details using tools git, mock and rpmbuild to package the source into an rpm and then install the rpm

h4. Build Environment Configuration
30 13 Bob Lightfoot
   
31
   install the software used for building tvheadened
32 12 Bob Lightfoot
<pre>
33
$sudo yum install git mock

35 13 Bob Lightfoot
36 21 Bob Lightfoot
     create a user to do the building as -- this is not a requirement, but does provide a modicum of compartmentaliztion when building
37 12 Bob Lightfoot
<pre>
38 21 Bob Lightfoot
$sudo useradd -g mock mock
39 12 Bob Lightfoot
$sudo passwd mock

h4. Getting the files to work with
46 13 Bob Lightfoot
47 12 Bob Lightfoot
    tvheadend sources are retrieved as follow
48
<pre>
49
$su mock
50
$mkdir git
51
$cd git
52
$ git clone https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend.git
53

54
55

56
<pre>
57
$mkdir ~/tvheadend
58
</pre>
59
60
     you'll also need a starter source rpm and specfile found through one of the following in the ~/tvheadend folder:
61
     https://tvheadend.org/boards/4/topics/14666
62
     https://tvheadend.org/attachments/download/2823/tvheadend-4.0.01012015-1.src.rpm

      mock setup
103
           {for Fedora you'll need to use the rpmfusion environment}
104 15 Bob Lightfoot
           {for centos you'll need to use nuxro's repos as an environment}
105 12 Bob Lightfoot
      the /etc/mock/nux-7-x86_64.cfg can be created by adding following to the epel7.cfg and renaming as saved

h3. Gentoo
174
175
TODO: this needs adding
176
177
h2. Get Source
178
179
Next you must obtain the source code, this is hosted on "github":https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend.
180
181
To clone the repository simple run the command:
182
183
<pre>
184
$ git clone https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend.git
185
</pre>
186
187
h2. Configuring
188
189
TVHeadend comes with a configuration script that allows you to enable/disable optional components and set install paths, etc.
190
191
Most people will be fine with the defaults and can run:
192
193
<pre>
194
$ ./configure
195
</pre>
196
197
However for more advanced options, please run the following:
198
199
<pre>
200
$ ./configure --help
201
</pre>
202
203
And then re-run configure with the required options, i.e.:
204
205
<pre>
206 10 John Törnblom
$ ./configure --disable-dvbscan
207 2 Adam Sutton
</pre>
208
209
h2. Compiling
210
211 3 Adam Sutton
To compile Tvheadend run:
212 2 Adam Sutton
213
<pre>
214
$ make
215
</pre>
216
217
h2. Installing
218
219 3 Adam Sutton
It is possible to install Tvheadend using make, based on the ./configure options, by running:
220 2 Adam Sutton
221
<pre>
222
$ sudo make install
223
</pre>
224
225 11 Adam Sutton
However it's recommend that you run from the build directory for development/testing (see [[Development]]):
226 2 Adam Sutton
227
<pre>
228
$ ./build.linux/tvheadend
229
</pre>
230
231 4 Adam Sutton
NOTE: its VERY important you run test builds from git root, so command should look similar to above.
232
233 3 Adam Sutton
And that you build a [[Packaging|package]] if you wish to install Tvheadend permanently and hook into the system start scripts etc.
234 2 Adam Sutton
235
Use of make install is not very traceable and so removal can sometimes be painful, and it might overwrite an existing installation.
236
237
h2. Packaging
238
239 3 Adam Sutton
For more information about packaging Tvheadend please see [[Packaging|here]]
240 2 Adam Sutton
241
h2. Reporting Problems
242
243 3 Adam Sutton
If you have problems with a custom compiled version of Tvheadend its important that any issue reports include details of the specific version of source you used. For more details please see [[bugreporting|here]].
