The project is here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/tivoserver/

basically I am looking for the latest version to be built for a G5 with dual processor support, can anyone do this or point me in the right direction?I am not scared to give it a try but have never compiled anything before. thanks for any help!!!!

download a source tarball of use the cvs/svn instructions provided by sourceforge.

Once in the source directory you should be able to compile with those two command lines :
./configure
make

If it does not work look for some README files or equivallent documentation.

I get the following:

Production:~/Desktop/tivoserver me$ ./configure
-bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
Production:~/Desktop/tivoserver me$ make
-bash: make: command not found
Production:~/Desktop/tivoserver me$

Do I need developer tools installed for this?

Yes !

I don't have developer tools installed, is it downloadable?

Tick · Jun 29, 2006, 04:49 PM

Go to connect.apple.com and download it.

Lack of Developer Tools does not explain why you can't find the configure file, installing them may help but I'm very doubtful of this.

There are instructions for installation in the README file inside the tivoserver directory; it appears you need to first install the Tivo ffmpeg and mjpeg tools.

So, install Developer Tools, read instructions, then try again.

gotcha... do I just need XCode? or will I need other pieces?

IEEE1394 · Jun 30, 2006, 10:59 PM

You will need to install it all, because when you compile stuff via the command line you don't use XCode at all, but rather the GNU compilers (gcc etc).

I'm not familiar enough with the Dev tools to know if you can just install the command line utilits. Play it safe and install them all.

Tick · Jul 1, 2006, 04:01 AM

Just to be clear, only download the xcode 2.3 installation. Do not install xcode 2.2 or 2.1 or anything else from ADC.

Leave the default settings from the installer and it should cover what you need.

Alright, working on it this morning

Ok couple questions, ffmpeg compiled, it outpur a few files, the 2 binaries seem to be: ffmpeg and ffmpeg_g what is the difference?

Second, compiling mjpegtools threw this error:

checking for jpeg_start_compress in -ljpeg-mmx... no
checking jpeglib.h usability... no
checking jpeglib.h presence... no
checking for jpeglib.h... no
configure: error: jpeglib.h not found - please install the libjpeg headers

I have the jpeg-mmx folder as a sub-folder and it has the header file inside what could the problem be?

1) _g is the debug version.
2) You need libjpeg. Easiest thing to do is install it via fink.

zerostar · Jul 6, 2006, 12:09 PM

I installed all 3 of the libjpeg items from fink, I am still getting:

checking for jpeg_start_compress in -ljpeg-mmx... no
checking jpeglib.h usability... no
checking jpeglib.h presence... no
checking for jpeglib.h... no
configure: error: jpeglib.h not found - please install the libjpeg headers

Any ideas?

Thinine · Jul 6, 2006, 04:18 PM

Is Fink's path script in your .profile?

zerostar · Jul 6, 2006, 04:20 PM

not sure what that means, I think it asked me to do that when I installed it? I said yes if that was what it was asking, do I need to restart or anything?

It's not a particularly easy thing to do for someone unaccustomed to using UNIX. If you're desperate for this software, either get someone who's fairly knowledgable in Linux/UNIX or read Linux for Dummies, Linux in a Nutshell, or Linux for Non-Geeks. That should get you started.

I have given up at the moment, I will pickup a few books tonight I would like to learn more anyway.
