This article describes how to build Tvheadend from source  

 Make sure you have avahi and git subversion installed, these are required to build Tvheadend 

 <pre> 
 
 # emerge -av avahi git subversion 
 </pre> 

 

 now create the following directories 

 <pre> 
 
 mkdir -p /opt/tvheadend/src 
 </pre> 

 

 now you need to fetch check out the Tvheadend source code using git svn 

 <pre> 
 git clone https://github.com/andoma/tvheadend.git 
 svn co svn://svn.lonelycoder.com/hts/trunk/tvheadend /opt/tvheadend/src/ 
 </pre> 

 

 now you need to prepare the Tvheadend source code 

 <pre> 
 
 cd /opt/tvheadend/src 
 ./configure --prefix=/opt/tvheadend  
 </pre> 

 

 if all went well you can compile the Tvheadend source code 

 <pre> 
 
 make 
 </pre> 

 

 If the source is compiled with no errors you can install the compiled source 

 <pre> 
 
 make install 
 </pre> 

 

 if you want you can also create this init script to start Tvheadend at boot time 

 /etc/init.d/tvheadend 
 <pre> 
 
 #!/sbin/runscript 
 # Copyright 1999-2010 Gentoo Foundation 
 # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 
 # $Header: 

 depend() { 
         need net 
 } 

 start() { 
         ebegin "Starting tvheadend" 
         start-stop-daemon --start \ 
                 --user ${TVHUSER} \ 
                 --exec ${TVHBIN} -- -C -f 
         eend $? 
 } 

 stop() { 
         ebegin "Stopping tvheadend" 
         start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --name ${TVHNAME} --signal 2 
         eend $? 
 } 
 </pre> 

 

 /etc/conf.d/tvheadend 

 <pre> 
 
 # /etc/conf.d/tvheadend: config file for /etc/init.d/tvheadend 

 TVHROOT="/opt/tvheadend" 
 TVHNAME="tvheadend" 
 TVHBIN="${TVHROOT}/bin/${TVHNAME}" 
 TVHUSER="${TVHNAME}" 
 </pre> 

 

 now set /etc/init.d/tvheadend as executable 

 <pre> 
 
 chmod +x /etc/init.d/tvheadend 
 </pre> 

 

 Create the tvheadend and add tvheadend to the group video 

 <pre> 
 
 useradd -d /opt/tvheadend/home/ -G tvheadend -s /sbin/nologin -m tvheadend 
 gpasswd -a tvheadend video 
 </pre> 

 

 now you can try to start Tvheadend 

 <pre> 
 
 /etc/init.d/tvheadend start 
 </pre> 

 

 if this works fine you can also add it to runlevel default so Tvheadend starts automatically 

 <pre> 
 
 rc-update add tvheadend default 
 </pre> 

 

 now you can go to "http://hostname:9981/":http://hostname:9981/ and start using/configuring Tvheadend
