Installation of pcm6cast

pcm6cast uses autoconf, so should work on most systems. (that support IPv6, POSIX)

Quick Start

./configure
make

Then as root:

make install

IPv6 Multicast on Linux

I have problems with IPv6 multicast on Linux kernels newer than 2.4.18 (including 2.6.3). I do not understand the details but it seems to relate to falling back from MLDv2 to MLDv1.

Requirements

Most of the requirments are optional, configure will add features depending on the libraries available on your system.

pcm6client requires SDL for audio playback.

pcm6shout requires libshout version 2 and either LAME for MP3 support or Ogg Vorbis (or both).

The pcm6archive script requires LAME.
