Install (instalar) Darwin Streaming Server 5.5.5 DSS from sources in Ubuntu
Hello guys after two hours trying to install the server finally i finished!!
The steps:
1. Make sure that you have: libc6-dev linux-libc-dev gcc-3.3 g++-3.3, if not:
sudo apt-get install libc6-dev linux-libc-dev gcc-3.3 g++-3.3
2.Download the sourcecode of DSS-Source-,but before you should create an account in www.apple/developer to download DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5.5-Source.
3. Extract the file directory:
tar xzf DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5.5-Source.tar.gz DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5.5-Source
4. Create a group and user for Darwin:
sudo addgroup --system qtss
sudo adduser --system --no-create-home --ingroup qtss qtss
4.1 Not necessary,but if you want change password to qtss (user) for example “xx”
sudo passwd qtss
5. Enter to “DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5.5-Source” directory and type:
./Buildit install
With this command start to compile DSS and creates a new directory called “DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5.5-Linux”
6. Enter to “DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5.5-Linux and type:
sudo ./Install
The command will show:

please please
Did you create the user qtss before install Darwin?
When you decompress the tar with the sources, you should have to enter to the folder “DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5.5 Source” In there you have tu run:
./Buildit install
And then after compile, you should have the new directory called “DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5.5-Linux”
DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5.5Source/DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5.5-Linux
The you have to run ./Install
Check it!
Change
“akp/streaming/DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5.5-Source# ./Install”
for
“akp/streaming/DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5.5-Source/DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5.5-Linux# ./Install”
Thank you very much, it work perfectly !!!!!=)
