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
==========================================

At the moment you can't install the vls and its plugins. The vls is run
directly in the bin directory.

  - change to the bin directory;
  - edit a vls.cfg file, there is an example in the root directory.
    Read the HOWTO file to know how to configure the server;
  - set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the bin directory ("." works);
  - launch with "./vls".
