Compiling ReadyMedia (minidlna) on Mavericks OS X

[jangozo]

Hi,

I want to setup minidlna on my Mac (darwin 13.0.0) because it's the lightest and fastest DLNA server I've seen and plays effortlessly everything I've thrown at it. I had it installed before via macports but now it's not compiling anymore. I found out that minidlna is now supported on OS X, but it doesn't look so easy to setup as running "port install minidlna". I tried the binaries (minidlna_1.1.0_static.tar) but I couldn't run them probably because they weren't compiled for my version (no surprise). As the title says, I'm trying to compile minidlna but I'm getting some errors.
Firstly after every run of the "./configure; make; make install" command I kept getting configure failure because some library is missing (ffmpeg, etc). The easiest way for me to install it is via macports so that's how I kept getting them. On the last ./configure I got this:

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/make  all-recursive

This looks like a bug to me and the guy here is saying some lines need to be added to the code. http://chris-labs.de/mac/2013/10/20/mac-install-minidlna-on-os-x.html

I added them but now sudo make is giving me this:

I'm stuck, please help.

You are still missing a library or two. I don't have a Mac so I can't tell you which libs are missing from macports. You might be able to Google it up.

It turns out that the initial problem for me to install minidlna via macports was that I was missing the command line tools for Xcode. However I saw something strange which could be the root cause of the last error I showed.

https://trac.macports.org/browser/trunk/dports/net/minidlna/Portfile

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
post-patch {
if {[string match "clang" ${configure.compiler}]} {
reinplace "s|inline||g" ${worksrcpath}/utils.c ${worksrcpath}/tagutils/misc.c
}
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the only difference from the sourceforge version and the macports version which worked. Developers please take a look.

PS. The minidlna version from the site still didn't work after I installed the command line tools for Xcode.

It minidlna's bug.
1. function was used before declared in taghandlers;
2. inline key word may avoid generate symbols while compiling;
3. patch is here, ignore change of metadata.c if you still use ffmpeg's old version;

/* tagutils/tagutils.c */

static taghandler taghandlers[] = {
    { "aac", _get_aactags, _get_aacfileinfo                                  },
    { "mp3", _get_mp3tags, _get_mp3fileinfo                                  },
    { "flc", _get_flctags, _get_flcfileinfo                                  },
    { "ogg", 0,            _get_oggfileinfo                                  },
    { "asf", 0,            _get_asffileinfo                                  },
    { "wav", _get_wavtags, _get_wavfileinfo                                  },
    { "pcm", 0,            _get_pcmfileinfo                                  },
    { NULL,  0 }
};
