The article describes how to build tvheadend from source  

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

 {{{ 
 # emerge -av avahi subversion 
 }}} 

 now create the following directories 

 {{{ 
 mkdir -p /opt/tvheadend/src 
 }}} 

 now you need to check out the tvheadend source code using svn 

 {{{ 
 svn co svn://svn.lonelycoder.com/hts/trunk/tvheadend /opt/tvheadend/src/ 
 }}} 

 now you need to prepare the tvheadend source code 

 {{{ 
 cd /opt/tvheadend/src 
 ./configure --prefix=/opt/tvheadend  
 }}} 

 if all went well you can compile the tvheadend source code 

 {{{ 
 make 
 }}} 

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

 {{{ 
 make install 
 }}} 

 if this is finished, you want you can also create this init script to start tvheadend at boot time the initscript: 

 {{{ 
 #!/sbin/runscript 
 # Copyright 1999-2010 Gentoo Foundation 
 # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License v2 
 # $Header: 

 TVH_PIDFILE="/var/run/tvheadend.pid" 
 TVH_BIN="/opt/tvheadend/bin/tvheadend" 
 TVH_OPTS="-f -C" 

 depend() { 
         need net 
 } 

 start() { 
         ebegin "Starting tvheadend" 
         start-stop-daemon --start    --pidfile ${TVH_PIDFILE} \ 
                 --exec ${TVH_BIN} -- ${TVH_OPTS} 
         eend $? 
 } 

 stop() { 
         ebegin "Stopping tvheadend" 
         start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile ${TVH_PIDFILE} --signal 2 
         eend $? 
         rm -f ${PIDFILE} 
 } 
 }}} 

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

 {{{ 
 chmod +x /etc/init.d/tvheadend 
 }}} 

 now you can try to start tvheadend 

 {{{ 
 /etc/init.d/tvheadend start 
 }}} 

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

 {{{ 
 rc-update add tvheadend default 
 }}}  

 now you can go to [http://hostname:9981/ http://hostname:9981/] and start using/configuring tvheadend
