Building & Installing pianod
============================

Dependencies
------------
- pthreads
- libao
- gcrypt
- gnutls
- json-c
- libfaad2 and/or libmad
- UTF-8 console/locale

These can each be downloaded and set up, but most systems have package
managers that streamline this process.  On OS X, see MacPorts; on Ubuntu or
Debian, see apt-get; Gentoo, emerge; Fedora and RedHat, RPM; FreeBSD, try
pkg or pkg_add.  For other Linux distributions, check
[Wikipedia's list](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_distributions)
to determine the packaging system used.

Building
--------
If you have all of the dependencies listed above, use:

	./configure && make

You can run the client directly from the source directory now
 
	./pianod

Or install it by issuing
	
	sudo make install

On startup, pianod reads your `~/.config/pianod/startscript`.  A sample is found
in the contrib directory.


### Mac OS X
You'll need to install XCode developer tools found your installation DVD
or downloaded from the App store or developer.apple.com.  Tools are free.

Once the developer tools are installed, you can easily
install all the dependencies using [MacPorts](http://macports.org),
which you'll also need to install.

To install pianod and the websocket gateway (for the web remote) with MacPorts:

	sudo port install -v wsgw +pianod

To install from a tarball, using MacPorts for dependencies, set these
environment variables before invoking configure:

	export CPPFLAGS=-I/opt/local/include
	export LDFLAGS=-L/opt/local/lib


Build Troubleshooting
---------------------
Messages may vary slightly by system and compiler.

### General Troubles

/usr/local/include/gcrypt.h:1401: warning: ‘gcry_ac_data_read_cb_t’ is deprecated
: Ignore.  There are typically several of these, all from gcrypt.h with
the prefix gcry_.

### Rare Mac Troubles
The builds attempts the current architecture reported by `uname -m`.
This is normally the Right Thing, however, if the dependency libraries
are mismatched (such as if MacPorts was installed in i386 mode of a
prior OS or machine, and now you're manually installing on x86_64),
you will need to override this:
	export CFLAGS="-arch x86_64"

If for some reason you went the other way (like the kernel keeps panicking
under x86_64 mode), use:
	export CFLAGS="-arch i386"

### TLS Configuration
To use transport layer encryption, you must provide certificate and key
files.  The script `create-pianod-tls-cert` in the contrib directory
will create the necessary files, the certificate issued by a bogus CA.
The certificate is for the current hostname, or another host specified
as the first parameter.
