icecast 2.x - README --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. Icecast is distributed under the GNU GPL, version 2. A copy of this license is included with this software in the COPYING file. Prerequisites --------------------------------------------------------------------- icecast requires the following packages : * libxml2 - http://xmlsoft.org/downloads.html * libxslt - http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/downloads.html * curl - http://curl.haxx.se/download.html (>= version 7.10 required) NOTE: icecast may be compiled without curl, however this will disable Stream Directory server interaction (YP) and URL based authentication. * ogg/vorbis - http://www.vorbis.com/files (>= version 1.0 required) A note about prerequisite packages --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Build/Install --------------------------------------------------------------------- To build icecast on a Unix platform, perform the following : Run ./configure make make install 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 Documentation for icecast is available in the doc directory, by viewing doc/index.html in a browser.
