Hi Jon,

usually you execute ./configure inside the udpcast source directory to have the makefile build. This step seems to be missing on the udpcast homepage. However, this step is quite common when building something from source, so remind it for future projects.

Since you are using a Debian based OS, if you get complaints of missing stuff while executing ./configure or make, you can simply invoke sudo apt-get build-dep udpcast and have everything fetched by apt.

Have fun with udpcast.

Regards, Jens

I had a question about compiling udpcast from source. I am inexperienced with Linux, so I am probably doing something wrong. I downloaded udpcast-20070602.tar.gz as listed on the site ( http://udpcast.linux.lu/source.html). I followed the steps to extract the file to a folder and changed to that directory. However, when I typed the make command, it says "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.". This is under Ubuntu 6.10.

I also tried "make --file=./Makefile.in" thinking that it might be what was needed but got a different error (CC@: Command not found & Error 127). Can you help me figure out what I am doing wrong?

Thanks for the project! I am hoping to implement this at a university to replace Ghost.
