INSTALL file for vls, the VideoLAN Server


Configuring the VideoLAN Server
===============================

At the moment you have to edit Makefile.opts to choose the
architecture you're working on and enable/disable debug.

Note: the flag -DBUGGY_VLC changes the behaviour of the server when
the client shutdowns/crashes (like vlc, just a little troll :)
When it's not defined the program is stopped, it goes on otherwise.


Building the VideoLAN Server
============================

Once configured, run `make' to build vls.


Installing and running the VideoLAN Server
==========================================

run `make install'.

Default files and directories:
  - binaries : /usr/local/bin
