Re: DSS on Linux



Hi,
We intentionally leave out StreamingLoadTool, because the tool is not
APSL-licensed.  The rest of the source code should build fine (at least on
RedHat 7.x) and there shouldn't be any missing files.

If you're using GCC 2.xx on Debian, my guess is that compilation should
work.  But, make sure you follow these directions:
1.  Run "./buildtarball linux" from the base source directory.  This will
create a tarball for linux.. or you'll get a compiler error if there's a
problem.
2.  cd into the DarwinStreamingSrvr4.1-Linux directory that is created in
the base source directory.  Here, run "./Install".

I'll admit that I wasn't able to find any reference to "buildtarball" in the
documentation, so that's something that we need to fix.

The Perl issues that you mentioned are very minor and have never caused any
problems for us.  Do you know why include files should "return 1"?  I've
seen it done, but I don't know what the point is.  Why should
'/parse_xml.cgi' be changed?  I think that path problems that you're having
with the CGI/HTML are possibly due to misinstallation.  Once the
streamingadminserver.pl script is running and the files have all been
installed correctly, you shouldn't have any trouble using the web admin.
