Prerequirements

• Development environment

Tutorial

First of all

• Linux knowledge is required
• It is useful to have experiences in compiling VDR and it's component manually

Scripts customisation

Decompression

sh vdr-install-script-<VERSION>.run --noexec --target /tmp/VDRtmp
cd /tmp/VDRtmp/setup

It is useful to customise the following configuration file to his own needs

• config/setup.conf
• config/commands.conf
• config/reccmds.conf
• config/make.conf
• config/configure.conf
• config/marks2pts.conf
• examples/plugins/mailbox/accounts.conf

e.g. with the mcedit editor

mcedit config/setup.conf

In ../config/plugins befinden sich die Einstellungen der Plugins, als bsp das audiocd-plugin. ../config/plugins/audiocd.conf

## Description:
#
# -d DEV --device=DEV set device (default: /dev/cdrom)
#
##
-d /dev/cdrom

Options are prefaced with ^-, after selection it goes into the plugin_setup.conf, see pluginsetup-plugin, the same for Description.

## Description: AudioCD Plugin
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Most of the options can be delivered through the commandline, independently from setup.conf

./setup.sh --help
./vdr-install-script-<VERSION>.run -- --help

Available modules

This is an index of the available modules. Everything below ./add can be upgraded.

Modules in the ../untestet directory must to be customised!

• One modules requires kernel 2.6 (actuator.cmd)
• Some modules are still in beta status
• Other have missing links

Stow(ES)

GNU stow helps to organise the files under /usr/local, by installing every software under his own directory tree under /usr/local/stow. And then, symbol links create the illusion, every software is installed in the same place.

Here are some of the most important commands

• help

/usr/local/stow/stowES help --prog stow=/usr/local/stow/stow

• checkstow (cs)

/usr/local/stow/stowES cs --prog stow=/usr/local/stow/stow
Checking packages in /usr/local/stow (78 matches):
I (  772.5) DFB++-0.9.20
I (  1,385) DirectFB-0.9.20
I (19223.5) ImageMagick-6.0.2
I ( 10,085) MPlayer-1.0pre4
....

• checkin (ci)

/usr/local/stow/stowES ci MPlayer-1.0pre4 --prog stow=/usr/local/stow/stow
Calling "stow" to check in package MPlayer-1.0pre4 ...done.
Calling ldconfig

• ceckout (co)

/usr/local/stow/stowES co MPlayer-1.0pre4 --prog stow=/usr/local/stow/stow
Calling "stow -D" to check out package MPlayer-1.0pre4 ...done.
Calling ldconfig.

• remove (rm)

/usr/local/stow/stowES rm MPlayer-1.0pre4 --prog stow=/usr/local/stow/stow
Calling "stow -D" to check out package MPlayer-1.0pre4 ...done.
Calling "rm -rf" to remove package MPlayer-1.0pre4 ...done.
Calling ldconfig.

• exchange

/usr/local/stow/stowES exchange MPlayer-1.0pre4 MPlayer-1.0pre5 --prog stow=/usr/local/stow/stow
Calling "stow -D" to check out package MPlayer-1.0pre4 ...done.
Calling "stow" to check in package MPlayer-1.0pre5 ...done.
Calling ldconfig.
