Cannot Compile live555

[KieferThomas]

Hello Everyone,

I am a newbie when it comes to working with the Pi computers but I am not new to linux. I have attempted to compile & install live555 on my Pi3 B+ stretch and have not been able to do so. I have followed the instructions from this site as well as the instructions from the live555 web site to the letter and I am coming up with this error:


cat: config.config.linux: No such file or directory
cat: config.config.linux: No such file or directory
cat: config.config.linux: No such file or directory
cat: config.config.linux: No such file or directory
cat: config.config.linux: No such file or directory
cat: config.config.linux: No such file or directory
cat: config.config.linux: No such file or directory
cat: config.config.linux: No such file or directory


when I run ./genMakefiles config.linux.

I have searched the internet for the past two days trying to resolve this error & have come up empty handed. Can someone please tell me what I am possibly missing from my system to have this error come up?

I have done the following on a fresh install of Raspbian stretch:


sudo apt-get install build-essentials
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo rpi-update
rebooted

then:

in the live555 directory issued the command ./genMakefiles config.linux


I am in desperate need of getting this server up and running for a project at work! Can anyone please help me?

Thanks in advance!

Shouldn't that just be linux not config.linux?

Code: Select all

./genMakefiles linux

Also, don't use sudo rpi-update unless you really have to (and you know what you are doing), it will get you the bleeding-edge kernel/firmware which may actually cause problems (it could have hot-fixes that haven't been fully tested).

Thanks for the input & my apologies for not answering sooner. I abandoned the live555 approach for serving the media. I decided to go with pulling the media from an NFS server instead and doing the decoding of the media on the machine playing it by doing this my overhead on system resources is very low and is working out quit well....

Thanks again,
Kiefer
