Icecast is a streaming media server which currently supports Ogg
|
|
|
|
|
streaming including the vorbis and theora codecs. Also icecast can
|
|
|
|
|
handle other streams like MP3/AAC/NSV.
|
|
|
|
|
It can be used to create an Internet radio station or a privately
|
|
|
|
|
running jukebox and many things in between. It is very versatile in
|
|
|
|
|
that new formats can be added relatively easily and supports open
|
|
|
|
|
standards for communication and interaction.

Most distributions have some sort of package management repository for
|
|
|
|
|
pre-built packages (eg rpm, deb etc). These setups often have a runtime
|
|
|
|
|
package, which is usually installed for you by default, and enables you
|
|
|
|
|
to run applications that depend on them. However if you are building
|
|
|
|
|
icecast from source then the runtime system is not enough. You will also
|
|
|
|
|
need a development package named something like libxslt-devel

|
To build icecast on a Unix platform, perform the following :
|
2002-10-01 12:26:18 -04:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Run
|
|
|
|
|
./configure
|
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
|
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
|
|
2008-06-01 22:57:47 -04:00
|
|
|
This is the typical procedure if you download the tar file. If you retrive
|
|
|
|
|
the code from subversion or want to rebuild the configure then run autogen.sh
|
|
|
|
|
instead of the configure above. Most people do not need to run autogen.sh

A sample config file will be placed in /usr/local/etc (on UNIX) or in
|
|
|
|
|
the current working directory (on Win32) and is called icecast.xml
