At this moment I've managed to get LMS 7.7 working on both a 32 bit and a 64 bit Freebsd server.
Initially I followed the method used by darkmark. I pulled everything available from the ports tree. This left 2 modules missing ( Image::Scale and Media::Scan ) creating a port for Image::Scale was easy so that left Media::Scan. I decided to build that with a modified buildme.sh script from Logitech. This worked but when I combined all the elements LMS still wouldn't start ( It could not connect to the database it had created ). So I decided to build all modules with the buildme.sh script. This was succesfull LMS started and scanned my library just fine. This was on my backup server ( a 32 bit machine ). On the main server ( a 64 bit machine ) it didn't work as smoothly. Everthing except Media::Scan build fine. The problem was that ffmpeg didn't build. Some piece of the source for the VP6 video codec wasn't 64 bit safe. I finally managed to build Media::Scan without the VP6 and VP8 codec. Regarding Apple Lossless on the Touch and the Radio this play's fine natively. You have to enable it in convert.conf ( it is disabled by default ) For the Boom I use a modified version of faad ( the binary provided in the freebsd package should work on both 32 and 64 bit machines ) PS Using the buildme.sh script should only be done if you know what you are doing it can corrupt already installed ports. -- HansS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ HansS's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22792 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=88765 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
