UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Guys,

I'm new on Unix and I was hoping you could help me installing ffmpeg on Apple TV 1st Gen, which is a Unix based OS. This is the version of Unix.

Darwin AppleTV.local 8.8.2 Darwin Kernel Version 8.8.2: Mon Jan 29 18:57:29 PST 2007; root:xnu-792.94.18~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386

I was following the tutorial on the page Link: documentation.hwdmediashare.co.uk/wiki/Setting_up_your_server_for_hwdVideoShare#Install_FFMPEG but the "make distclean" and the following commands didn't work. It shows "command not found".

Do you know why does it happen? Do I have to install a package or something extra?

Here are the commands that didn't work:

# make distclean # ./configure --enable-gpl --enable-version3 --enable-nonfree --enable-shared --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libx264 --enable-libfaac --enable-libvorbis --enable-libopencore-amrnb --enable-libopencore-amrwb # make clean && make && make install # make tools/qt-faststart

Are you sure you're in the same folder as it?

If you don't have make, you're going to need it.

Corona688, I'm on the same folder, but I still get the same error "Command not found".

Do you know how could I install the make command? Maybe that's a modified version of unix and it didn't come, would that be possible?

Thanks.

You're going to need a whole lot more than make, you're going to need all of gcc and maybe a few other tools. It could end up being hundreds of megs of custom-built stuff.

Do you know what processor this system is? If it's possible to build the code somewhere else, that'd be prefereable.

I believe the processor is 1ghz, I wouldn't like to stuff it and it would be significantly slower latter.

Is it possible to install GCC and then uninstall it? Maybe I could try this one first and if it makes it slower I would have to format it all.

I don't have another PC with unix, but I believe I could install Ubuntu. Would that work? How would I build the code there and then bring it back to Apple TV?

A 1Ghz what, though?

Adding files to a system doesn't make it slower. Files just sit there. What I'm concerned about is 1) whether this system has room at all, being some sort of embedded thing
2) whether installing gcc on this thing would work or is even possible.

The processor is a 1Ghz Intel Pentium M (code named Crofton) with 256 MB of 400*MHz DDR2 SDRAM, and has 160gb of HD

Do you think its possible to install the GCC? If not, could help me building the code on another pc and then bringing it here?

By the way, I am assuming that FFMPEG is the best (or more adequated) app for converting videos, right?
