How to test DSS from sources in Ubuntu

Http://www.doutdex.com/blog/2008/03/12/install-instalar-darwin-streaming-server-555-dss-in-ubuntu/

Hello guys after two hours trying to install the server finally I finished !!

The steps:

1. Make sure that you have: libc6-dev Linux-libc-dev gcc-3.3 g ++-3.3, if not:
sudo apt-get install libc6-dev linux-libc-dev gcc-3.3 g++-3.3

2. Download The sourcecode of DSS-source-, but before you shoshould create an account in www. Apple/developer

Download darwinstreamingsrvr5.5.5-source.

3. Extract the file directory:
tar xzf DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5.5-Source.tar.gz DarwinStreamingSrvr5.5.5-Source

4. Create a group and user for Darwin:
sudo addgroup --system qtss
sudo adduser --system --no-create-home --ingroup qtss qtss


4.1 not necessary, but if you want change password to qtss (User) for example "XX"
sudo passwd qtss

5. Enter to "darwinstreamingsrvr5.5.5-source" directory and type:
./Buildit install

With this command start to compile DSS and creates a new directory called "darwinstreamingsrvr5.5.5-Linux"

6. Enter to "darwinstreamingsrvr5.5.5-Linux and type:
sudo ./Install

The command will show:
