Manual Compilation

There are three parts to mediaproxy-ng, each of which can be found in the respective subdirectories.

• daemon

  The userspace daemon and workhorse, minimum requirement for anything to work. Running MEDIAPROXY_VERSION="\"<version number>\"" make will compile the binary, which will be called mediaproxy-ng. The following software packages are required to compile the daemon:

  • gcc
  • make
  • pkgconfig
  • glib2-devel
  • libcurl-devel
  • openssl-devel
  • pcre-devel
  • xmlrpc-c-devel
  • zlib-devel

• iptables-extension

  Required for in-kernel packet forwarding. Running MEDIAPROXY_VERSION="\"<version number>\"" make will compile the plugin for iptables and ip6tables. The file will be called libxt_MEDIAPROXY.so and should be copied into the directory /lib/xtables/ in 32-bit environments and /lib64/xtables/ in 64-bit environments. The following software packages are required to compile the plugin:

  • gcc
  • make
  • iptables-devel

• kernel-module

  Required for in-kernel packet forwarding. Compilation of the kernel module requires the kernel development packages for the kernel version you are using (see output of uname -r) to be installed. Running MEDIAPROXY_VERSION="\"<version number>\"" make will compile the kernel module.

  Successful compilation of the module will produce the file xt_MEDIAPROXY.ko. The module can be inserted into the running kernel manually through insmod xt_MEDIAPROXY.ko (which will result in an error if depending modules aren't loaded, for example the x_tables module), but it's recommended to copy the module into /lib/modules/<version number>/updates/, followed by running depmod -a. After this, the module can be loaded by issuing modprobe xt_MEDIAPROXY.

  The following software packages are required to compile the plugin:

  • gcc
  • make
  • kernel-devel
  • kernel-headers

  Note: the kernel-devel and kernel-headers packages are meta-packages that install the headers and source for the latest kernel version. This will be what you want unless you are running a custom or older kernel.
