Sometimes you'll need to build [[LLA]] from the sources rather than using the pre-built .deb. For example on non-debian systems, or if you want to use the LLA-Dmx4Linux plugin.

== Installed Dependencies ==
 
 
 
If you're building from the git version you'll need the perl Template module installed. Run the following:
 
 
 
perl -e "use Template"
 
 
 
If you get an error you'll need to download and install Template.pm (or apt-get install libtemplate-perl)
 
 
 
 
 
If, while compiling, you get an error that looks like
 
 
 
  Can't locate XML/Simple.pm in @INC
 
 
 
you'll need to install XML::Simple (e.g. apt-get install libxml-simple-perl)
 
 
 
 
 
You may also install autoconf, automake and libtool (sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libtool).
 
 
 
== Download & Extract ==
 
 
 
Either download the latest archive or grab the sources via git:
 
 
 
wget http://www.nomis52.net/data/sources/lla/lla-latest.tar.gz
 
tar -zxf lla-latest.tar.gz
 
 
 
or
 
 
 
git clone http://www.nomis52.net/git/lla
 
 
 
== Build ==
 
 
 
If you downloaded an archive you can skip the reconf step, otherwise run reconf which will also auto-generate parts of the code:
 
 
 
./reconf
 
Generating source files...
 
Done lla-UsbPro
 
Done lla-ArtNet
 
Running autotools
 
+ aclocal -I config
 
+ autoconf
 
+ autoheader
 
+ automake -a
 
+ exit
 
 
 
Then run ./configure and check which plugins will be built:
 
 
 
./configure
 
...
 
checking for artnet_new in -lartnet... yes
 
checking for DMXdev in -ldmx4linux... no
 
checking for espnet_new in -lespnet... yes
 
checking for shownet_new in -lshownet... no
 
checking for sandnet_new in -lsandnet... yes
 
checking for pathport_new in -lpathport... yes
 
 
 
In this case we're not going to build the shownet and dmx4linux plugins as we don't have the necessary libraries installed.
 
 
 
Finally run make:
 
 
 
make
 
 
 
== Install ==
 
 
 
(become root)
 
 
 
make install
 
 
 
== Test ==
 
 
 
Check that llad runs:
 
 
 
llad -d 3 -f -s
