kissdx

Mini-Howto for Debian

On linux debian (I tried with stable distro - but I assume it's the same with testing/unstable/experimental) make sure that apt (/etc/apt/sources.list) is shaped correctly and do:

apt-get install libdvdread-dev libjpeg62-dev

now, in the Makefile at the line

$(CC) -o $@ $(OBJS) -ldvdread -liconv -ljpeg -lm

of kissdx directory, remove "-liconv" because linux debian has liconv integrated.

do:

make && make install

If the compilation process is ok you have the kissdx executable in /usr/sbin/kissdx and the corresponding config file to /etc/kissdx.conf

Set properly /etc/kissdx.conf

 

1) To start manually daemon mode of kissdx do:

/usr/sbin/kissdx -d -c /etc/kissdx.conf

 

2) To start automatically kissdx daemon at pc startup do:

Use your favourite editor and do:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/kissdx -d -c /etc/kissdx.conf

Save this file to /etc/init.d/kissdx and then do this:

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/kissdx && cd /etc/rc2.d/ && ln -s /etc/init.d/kissdx S40kissdx

Finally do:

sh /etc/init.d/kissdx

 

To check if kissdx is running do:

ps x|grep kissdx

You should see something like:

4193 ? S 0:00 /usr/sbin/kissdx -v -c /etc/kissdx.conf
