"Tested" means I've built against that version; earlier or later versions will
often work too.
Runtime dependencies:
- * Players:
- + ogg123 and mpg321 work for me, but you could potentially use others.
* Web server:
+ Apache 1.3.x works for me, but anything that supports CGI and
authentication should be suitable.
+ * Separate player programs are no longer required (but may still be used)
Development dependencies (only developers will need these):
- Automake 1.9.4 AM_PATH_PYTHON not good enough in 1.7
- Autoconf 2.59
- Libtool 1.5.6 1.4 not good enough
+ Automake 1.10 AM_PATH_PYTHON not good enough in 1.7
+ Autoconf 2.61
+ Libtool 1.5.22 1.4 not good enough
Bazaar (bzr)
+On Debian you might ensure you have the required packages as follows:
+ apt-get install gcc libc-dev automake autoconf libtool libgtk2.0-dev \
+ libgc-dev libgcrypt-dev libpcre3-dev libvorbis-dev \
+ libao-dev libmad0-dev libasound2-dev libdb4.3-dev \

4. Create /etc/disorder/config. Start from examples/config.sample and adapt it
to your own requirements. In particular, you should:
- * edit the 'player' commands to reflect the software you have installed.
+ * add 'player' commands for any file formats not supported natively
* edit the 'collection' command to identify the location(s) of your own
digital audio files. These commands also specify the encoding of
filenames, which you should be sure to get right as recovery from an
See disorder_config(5) for more details.
+ See README.raw for details on setting up "raw format" players, which allow
+ for pausing and gapless play.
+
5. Create /etc/disorder/config.private. This should be readable only by the
jukebox group:
See disorderd(8) and disorder_config(5) for more details.
-6. Make sure the server is started at boot time. On many Linux systems,
- examples/disorder.init should be more or less suitable; install it in
- /etc/init.d, adapting it as necessary, and make appropriate links from
- /etc/rc[0-6].d. If you have a BSD style init then you are on your own.

+
+ For Mac OS X 10.4, a suitable plist file is automatically installed. The
+ command:
+
+ sudo launchctl list
+
+ ...should show "uk.org.greenend.rjk.disorder" (among other things).
+
+ If you have a some other init system then you are on your own.
7. Make sure the state directory (/var/disorder or /usr/local/var/disorder or
as determined by configure) exists and is writable by the jukebox user.
mkdir -m 755 /var/disorder
chown disorder:root /var/disorder
-8. Start the server, for instance:
+ If you want to use some other directory you must put use the 'home' command
+ in the configuration file.
+
+8. Start the server.
+
+ On Linux systems with sysv-style init:
/etc/init.d/disorder start
+ On Mac OS X 10.4:
+
+ sudo launchctl start uk.org.greenend.rjk.disorder
+
By default disorderd logs to daemon.*; check your syslog.conf to see where
this ends up and look for log messages from disorderd there. If it didn't
start up correctly there should be an error message. Correct the problem
