#Build Snapcast Clone the Snapcast repository. To do this, you need git. For Debian derivates (e.g. Raspbian, Debian, Ubuntu, Mint): $ sudo apt-get install git For Arch derivates: $ pacman -S git For FreeBSD: $ sudo pkg install git Clone Snapcast: $ git clone https://github.com/badaix/snapcast.git this creates a directory `snapcast`, in the following referred to as ``. Next clone the external submodules: $ cd /externals $ git submodule update --init --recursive ##Linux (Native) Install the build tools and required libs: For Debian derivates (e.g. Raspbian, Debian, Ubuntu, Mint): $ sudo apt-get install build-essential $ sudo apt-get install libasound2-dev libvorbisidec-dev libvorbis-dev libflac-dev alsa-utils libavahi-client-dev avahi-daemon Compilation requires gcc 4.8 or higher, so it's highly recommended to use Debian (Raspbian) Jessie. For Arch derivates: $ pacman -S base-devel $ pacman -S alsa-lib avahi libvorbis flac alsa-utils ###Build Snapclient and Snapserver `cd` into the Snapcast src-root directory: $ cd $ make Install Snapclient and/or Snapserver: $ sudo make installserver $ sudo make installclient This will copy the client and/or server binary to `/usr/bin` and update init.d/systemd to start the client/server as a daemon. ###Build Snapclient `cd` into the Snapclient src-root directory: $ cd /client $ make Install Snapclient $ sudo make install This will copy the client binary to `/usr/bin` and update init.d/systemd to start the client as a daemon. ###Build Snapserver `cd` into the Snapserver src-root directory: $ cd /server $ make Install Snapserver $ sudo make install This will copy the server binary to `/usr/bin` and update init.d/systemd to start the server as a daemon. ##FreeBSD (Native) Install the build tools and required libs: $ sudo pkg install gmake gcc bash avahi libogg libvorbis flac ###Build Snapserver `cd` into the Snapserver src-root directory: $ cd /server $ gmake TARGET=FREEBSD Install Snapserver $ sudo gmake TARGET=FREEBSD install This will copy the server binary to `/usr/local/bin` and the startup script to `/usr/local/etc/rc.d/snapserver`. To enable the Snapserver, add this line to `/etc/rc.conf`: snapserver_enable="YES" For additional command line arguments, add in `/etc/rc.conf`: snapserver_opts="" Start and stop the server with `sudo service snapserver start` and `sudo service snapserver stop`. ##macOS (Native) *Warning: macOS support is experimental* 1. Install Xcode from the App Store 2. Install [Homebrew](http://brew.sh) 3. Install the required libs ``` $ brew install flac libvorbis ``` ###Build Snapclient `cd` into the Snapclient src-root directory: $ cd /client $ make TARGET=MACOS Install Snapclient $ sudo make install This will copy the client binary to `/usr/local/bin` and create a Launch Agent to start the client as a daemon. ###Build Snapserver `cd` into the Snapserver src-root directory: $ cd /server $ make TARGET=MACOS Install Snapserver $ sudo make install This will copy the server binary to `/usr/local/bin` and create a Launch Agent to start the server as a daemon. ##Android (Cross compile) Cross compilation for Android is done with the [Android NDK](http://developer.android.com/tools/sdk/ndk/index.html) on a Linux host machine. ###Android NDK setup http://developer.android.com/ndk/guides/standalone_toolchain.html 1. Download NDK: `https://dl.google.com/android/repository/android-ndk-r13-linux-x86_64.zip` 2. Extract to: `/SOME/LOCAL/PATH/android-ndk-r13` 3. Setup toolchain somewhere in your home dir (``): ```` $ cd /SOME/LOCAL/PATH/android-ndk-r13/build/tools $ ./make_standalone_toolchain.py --arch arm --api 14 --install-dir ```` ###Build Snapclient Edit the first lines in `/client/build_android.sh` and in `/externals/build_externals_android.sh` to let `NDK_DIR` point to your `` Cross compile and install FLAC, ogg, and tremor (only needed once): $ cd /externals $ ./build_externals_android.sh Compile the Snapclient: $ cd /client $ ./build_android.sh The binaries for `armeabi` and `armeabi-v7a` will be copied into the Android's assets directory (`/android/Snapcast/src/main/assets/bin/`) and will be part of the Snapcast App. ##OpenWrt (Cross compile) Cross compilation for OpenWrt is done with the [OpenWrt build system](https://wiki.openwrt.org/about/toolchain) on a Linux host machine. https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/build ###OpenWrt build system setup https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/buildroot.exigence Clone OpenWrt to some place in your home directory (``) $ git clone git://git.openwrt.org/15.05/openwrt.git Download and install available feeds $ cd $ ./scripts/feeds update -a $ ./scripts/feeds install -a Build $ make menuconfig $ make Within the OpenWrt directory create symbolic links to the Snapcast source directory and to the OpenWrt Makefile: $ cd /package/sxx/snapcast $ ln -s /openWrt/Makefile.openwrt Makefile $ ln -s src Build Snapcast: $ cd $ make package/sxx/snapcast/clean $ make package/sxx/snapcast/compile The packaged `ipk` files are in `/bin/ar71xx/packages/base/snap[client|server]_x.x.x_ar71xx.ipk`
