Darwin Streaming Server 6.0.3 and Solaris

Apple has released a new version of their streaming software: Darwin Streaming Server, DSS.
Many production systems use Solaris 10 for DSS without a problem. DSS works nicely on Solaris 8,9 and 10 and some examples are already presented:

- DSS 5.5.x on Solaris 10 with ZFS and zones
- Prune's patch

Now we have a new version out: 6.0.3 with new features and better Solaris 10 support, here
For all of you interested in streaming you might want to check it out.

Wish list:
- OpenSolaris integration: IPS package, testing
- DTrace probes for DSS
- DSS 64bit support for Solaris
- Better documentation for OpenSolaris, Solaris

Enjoy and happy streaming on Solaris

Hello, I am in desperate need of hiring someone to get DSS binaries to compile on Solaris. Can I contact you regarding this?

Thanks!

Hi Mike,

when I try to install darwin on solaris 8 ( following your instructions) it gives an error
Building RefMovieModule for SunOS.sun4u with g++
make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `Install'
Building DemoAuthorizationModule for SunOS.sun4u with g++
make: Fatal error: Don't know how to make target `Install'
Building RawFileModule for SunOS.sun4u with g++

for all modules.

what is the reason for this and please advice on how to solve this,
when you are not busy :)

kind regards
NIlanka.
