h2. Prerequisites

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.

h3. Debian/Ubuntu

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
27
</pre>

29 18 Bob Lightfoot
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
34 1 Adam Sutton
</pre>
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
</pre>
54
55
     create a workfiles holding directory
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
63
     https://tvheadend.org/attachments/download/2738/tvheadend-4.0.01012015-1.spec

h4. Step by Step Building the RPM
66 12 Bob Lightfoot
67
     enter the local git repository and reset local to most current remote
68
<pre>
69
$cd ~/git/tvheadend
70
$git fetch origin
71
$git reset --hard origin/master
72
</pre>
73
74 22 Bob Lightfoot
      determine the commit id of the master branch - for ex. "e5dc86b3dd32f80c337da75cc0d2e00702c45fe1"
75 12 Bob Lightfoot
<pre>
76
$git show-ref --head
77
</pre>
78 1 Adam Sutton
79 22 Bob Lightfoot
      determine the version id of this build as well - for ex. "v3.9-2618-ge5dc86b"
80
81
<pre>
82
$git describe --dirty --match "v*"
83
</pre>
84
85
      create the spec file for the next version note new and old are the revision strings
86
      in this example tvheadend-new-spec would be tvheadend-3.9.2618-git.e5dc86b.1.spec
87 12 Bob Lightfoot
<pre>
88
$cp tvheadend-old.spec tvheadend-new.spec
89
</pre>
90
91
      open the new spec and edit as follows
92
      update the global commit string to match the current master commit
93
      change the version string to match the new being built
94
      change the git archive comment line to be the correct values commit tag and filename
95
      change the source0 filename also
96 19 Bob Lightfoot
      also modify the changelog to reflect the new version
97 12 Bob Lightfoot
      save the spec file for use later
98
<pre>
99 20 Bob Lightfoot
$vi tvheadend-new.spec
100 12 Bob Lightfoot
</pre>
101
102
      switch to the git tvheadened master and export the archive file called for in the new spec to the ~/tvheadend folder
103
<pre>
104
$cd ~/git/tvheadend
105
$git archive 96898a66e96927e4ace9a637ea923fd9f514dd1d --format=tar --prefix=tvheadend/ | gzip > ../tvheadend-4.0.03182015.tar.gz
106
$mv ../tvheadend-4.0.03182015.tar.gz ~/tvheadend
107
</pre>
108
109
      mock setup
110
           {for Fedora you'll need to use the rpmfusion environment}
111 15 Bob Lightfoot
           {for centos you'll need to use nuxro's repos as an environment}
112 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

h4. Install the RPM
173 12 Bob Lightfoot
174 16 Bob Lightfoot
<pre>
175 1 Adam Sutton
$sudo yum install /home/mock/tvheadend/tvheadend-4.0.03182015-1.x86_64.rpm

h3. Gentoo
181
182
TODO: this needs adding
183
184
h2. Get Source
185
186
Next you must obtain the source code, this is hosted on "github":https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend.
187
188
To clone the repository simple run the command:
189
190
<pre>
191
$ git clone https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend.git
192
</pre>
193
194
h2. Configuring
195
196
TVHeadend comes with a configuration script that allows you to enable/disable optional components and set install paths, etc.
197
198
Most people will be fine with the defaults and can run:
199
200
<pre>
201
$ ./configure
202
</pre>
203
204
However for more advanced options, please run the following:
205
206
<pre>
207
$ ./configure --help
208
</pre>
209
210
And then re-run configure with the required options, i.e.:
211
212
<pre>
213 10 John Törnblom
$ ./configure --disable-dvbscan
214 2 Adam Sutton
</pre>
215
216
h2. Compiling
217
218 3 Adam Sutton
To compile Tvheadend run:
219 2 Adam Sutton
220
<pre>
221
$ make
222
</pre>
223
224
h2. Installing
225
226 3 Adam Sutton
It is possible to install Tvheadend using make, based on the ./configure options, by running:
227 2 Adam Sutton
228
<pre>
229
$ sudo make install
230
</pre>
231
232 11 Adam Sutton
However it's recommend that you run from the build directory for development/testing (see [[Development]]):
233 2 Adam Sutton
234
<pre>
235
$ ./build.linux/tvheadend
236
</pre>
237
238 4 Adam Sutton
NOTE: its VERY important you run test builds from git root, so command should look similar to above.
239
240 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.
241 2 Adam Sutton
242
Use of make install is not very traceable and so removal can sometimes be painful, and it might overwrite an existing installation.
243
244
h2. Packaging
245
246 3 Adam Sutton
For more information about packaging Tvheadend please see [[Packaging|here]]
247 2 Adam Sutton
248
h2. Reporting Problems
249
250 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]].
