Description
The Installsscript is a tool that the handles the conventional installation steps with a collection of scripts.
Prerequirements
- Development environment
Manual
Tutorial
First of all
- Linux knowledge is required
- It is useful to have experiences in compiling VDR and it's component manually
Scripts customisation
Decompression
sh vdr-install-script-<VERSION>.run --noexec --target /tmp/VDRtmp cd /tmp/VDRtmp/setup
It is useful to customise the following configuration file to his own needs
- config/setup.conf
- config/commands.conf
- config/reccmds.conf
- config/make.conf
- config/kernel.conf
- config/configure.conf
- examples/plugins/accounts.conf
e.g. with the mcedit editor
mcedit config/setup.conf
Most of the options can be delivered through the commandline, independently from setup.conf
./setup.sh --help ./vdr-install-script-<VERSION>.run -- --help
Backup
In order that the setting are not lost at updates, everything should be backuped.
Execute
./setup.sh
and go to
<-> - Configuration
| - Load an Alternate Configuration File --->
| - Save Configuration to an Alternate File --->
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
To save the settings somewhere else, e.g. /media/floppy/.config (ca. 80KB).
After an update, these setting can be loaded through
<-> - Configuration
| - Load an Alternate Configuration File --->
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Another possibility is the backup of the complete script with
./setup.sh --buildrunpackage
Label (default "vdr-install-script-<VERSION>.run"):

Scripts
Available modules
This is an index of the available modules. Everything below ./add can be upgraded.
Modules in the ../untestet directory must to be customised!
- One modules requires kernel 2.6
- Some modules are still in beta status
- Other have missing links
Stow(ES)
GNU stow helps to organise the files under /usr/local, by installing every software under his own directory tree under /usr/local/stow. And then, symbol links create the illusion, every software is installed in the same place.
Here are some of the most important commands
- help
/usr/local/stow/stowES help --prog stow=/usr/local/stow/stow
- checkstow (cs)
/usr/local/stow/stowES cs --prog stow=/usr/local/stow/stow Checking packages in /usr/local/stow (78 matches): I ( 772.5) DFB++-0.9.20 I ( 1,385) DirectFB-0.9.20 I (19223.5) ImageMagick-6.0.2 I ( 10,085) MPlayer-1.0pre4 ....
- checkin (ci)
/usr/local/stow/stowES ci MPlayer-1.0pre4 --prog stow=/usr/local/stow/stow Calling "stow" to check in package MPlayer-1.0pre4 ...done. Calling ldconfig
- ceckout (co)
/usr/local/stow/stowES co MPlayer-1.0pre4 --prog stow=/usr/local/stow/stow Calling "stow -D" to check out package MPlayer-1.0pre4 ...done. Calling ldconfig.
- remove (rm)
/usr/local/stow/stowES rm MPlayer-1.0pre4 --prog stow=/usr/local/stow/stow Calling "stow -D" to check out package MPlayer-1.0pre4 ...done. Calling "rm -rf" to remove package MPlayer-1.0pre4 ...done. Calling ldconfig.
- exchange
/usr/local/stow/stowES exchange MPlayer-1.0pre4 MPlayer-1.0pre5 --prog stow=/usr/local/stow/stow Calling "stow -D" to check out package MPlayer-1.0pre4 ...done. Calling "stow" to check in package MPlayer-1.0pre5 ...done. Calling ldconfig.
