I want to build a modified version of lighttpd. I follow this tutorial:

Downloading and building the H264 Streaming Module for Lighttpd (version 2)

This is what I've done so far:

apt get install lighttpd
apt get install automake autoconf libtool 
cd /var/tmp
wget http://h264.code-shop.com/download/lighttpd-1.4.18_mod_h264_streaming-2.2.9.tar.gz
tar -zxvf lighttpd-1.4.18_mod_h264_streaming-2.2.9.tar.gz
wget http://download.lighttpd.net/lighttpd/releases-1.4.x/lighttpd-1.4.28.tar.gz
tar ...

After I copied all files and data to the directory and Makefile.am I entered:

./autogen.sh


./autogen.sh: running `libtoolize --copy --force'
libtoolize: putting auxiliary files in `.'.
libtoolize: copying file `./ltmain.sh'
libtoolize: putting macros in AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIR, `m4'.
libtoolize: copying file `m4/libtool.m4'
libtoolize: copying file `m4/ltoptions.m4'
libtoolize: copying file `m4/ltsugar.m4'
libtoolize: copying file `m4/ltversion.m4'
libtoolize: copying file `m4/lt~obsolete.m4'
./autogen.sh: running `aclocal -I m4'
./autogen.sh: running `autoheader'
./autogen.sh: running `automake --add-missing --copy --foreign'
Makefile.am:8: lib_LTLIBRARIES must be set with `=' before using `+='

./configure --enable-maintainer-mode --prefix=${HOME}/test/lighttpd-1.4.28

The console returns:

    ...
        checking for pkg-config... no
        checking for libev support... ./configure: line 12184: syntax error near unexpected token `LIBEV,'
./configure: line 12184: `      PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBEV, libev, ,'
root@foo...

Some people solved this by installing "pkg-config". I installed this package but I still can't run the configuration.

EDIT: this is the source of the configure file at this line

LIBEV_CFLAGS=""
LIBEV_LIBS=""

    if test "$WITH_LIBEV" != "no"; then
            PKG_CHECK_MODULES(LIBEV, libev, ,
                    dnl no pkg-config for libev, searching manually:

                    if test "$WITH_LIBEV" != "yes"; then
                            LIBEV_CFLAGS="-I$WITH_LIBEV/include"
                            LIBEV_LIBS="-L$WITH_LIBEV/lib -lev"
  else

          AC_CHECK_HEADERS([ev.h],[
                                AC_CHECK_LIB([ev], [ev_loop], [
                                                LIBEV_CFLAGS=""
                                                LIBEV_LIBS="-lev"
                                        ],[
                                        AC_MSG_ERROR([libev not found])
                                        ]
                                )],[
                                        AC_MSG_ERROR([libev not found])
                                ]
                        )
                fi
        )

lighttpd-1.4.28 is not very current. You may be suffering from lighttpd bug #2300 Libev-4.0 isn't detected by lighttpd-1.x, this was fixed in 1.4.29 (backport from 2.0).

Otherwise, try:

  • double check your dependencies (specifically required versions of autoconf etc) as documented on the h264.code-shop.com instructions
  • make sure you can build lighttpd from source without the h264 module so that you can eliminate one problem at a time
