Summary

These are directions to install a Rivendell broadcast automation system on to a current Debian Stable (3.1, Sarge) system (running Gnome) from source.

[edit]

OS installation

Install debian from the Net Installer CD. Only install the base system using the installer, there is no need to choose any of the pre-cionfigured system options.

Log on with the user you created during installation. Use su to change to the root user: 

su
<enter root password>
[edit]

Install a 2.6 kernel

Choose a 2.6 Kernel by searching with the command: 

apt-cache search kernel-image-2.6

And then run 

apt-get install kernel-image-2.6.*

Replacing kernel-image-2.6.* with the name of the kernel image you have chosen. Reboot with the new kernel.

[edit]

Install packages

Log on and su to root. Install required packages by issuing the following commands: 

apt-get install libasound2-dev libflac++-dev libid3-3.8.3-dev libjack0.80.0-dev libvorbis-dev

apt-get install libsamplerate0-dev libqt3-mt-dev libqt3c-102-mt-mysql kernel-headers-`uname -r` mysql-server

apt-get install mysql-client x-window-system gnome-desktop gdm alsa-base sox-dev cdda2wav libcdparanoia0-dev

apt-get install lukemftp samba-common
[edit]

Create a user

Create a dedicated user for Rivendell: 

adduser rivendell
sudo adduser rivendell audio
[edit]

Download and compile

Download the source packages: 

wget http://www.rivendellaudio.org/ftpdocs/rivendell/rivendell-0.9.80.tar.gz
wget http://www.rivendellaudio.org/ftpdocs/libradio/libradio-0.98.0.tar.gz
wget http://www.rivendellaudio.org/ftpdocs/gpio/gpio-0.9.6.tar.gz

tar -zxf rivendell-0.9.80.tar.gz
tar -zxf libradio-0.98.0.tar.gz
tar -zxf gpio-0.9.6.tar.gz

Define the location of the qt3 package files 

export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3

Build and install the packages: 

cd gpio-0.9.6
./configure
make
make install

cd ..
cd libradio-0.9.80
export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3
./configure 
make
make install

cd ..
cd rivendell-0.9.80
./configure
make
make install

Reboot. NB: You probably don't need to export the QTDIR for each one unless you are rebooting in between installing the different stages.
