Installing miniDLNA on Ubuntu PowerPC

Posted on March 4, 2010, 12:00 am, by andrew, under Notes.

I don’t think I’ve seen anyone maintaining packages for the excellent MiniDLNA media server for Debian or Ubuntu. The instructions provided here should work for both Intel and PPC builds (maybe others?) of Ubuntu and Debian Linux.

  1. Run this command to get the pre-req packages needed to build MiniDLNA:
    • sudo apt-get install libexif-dev libjpeg62-dev libid3tag0-dev libflac-dev libvorbis-dev libsqlite3-dev libavformat-dev cvs make
  2. Log in and check out (download) the source code for MiniDLNA from SourceForge:
    • cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@minidlna.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/minidlna co -P minidlna
  3. Change into the directory and build, then install it!
    • make
    • sudo make install
  4. That’s it!

      you can just run the binary to start minidlna – if you want to stop it just find the process and kill it with the kill command

    Hi,

    Maybe I’ve not got much AV stuff installed, but I also needed to do an

    apt-get install libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev

    But the make told me what I needed anyway.

    Cheers,
    Geoff.
