Hi, I'm trying to build liquidsoap-1.1.1-full on an openSUSE 13.1 x64 test server. Our radio station is eventually going to move away from sc_trans since it's no longer supported and not doing what we want it to do any longer. The problem I'm having is that Liquidsoup provides very poor and fragmented documentation, and there are multiple people on the SHOUTcast forum that would like to use Liquidsoap with version 2.x of the DNAS, but can't because the instructions are so poor in terms of building it on a non-Debian or non-Ubuntu distro. Reading the instructions on the site was not helpful at all.
I read this page: http://savonet.sourceforge.net/doc-svn/build.html and it really makes no sense to me. I have to say that this page: http://savonet.sourceforge.net/doc-svn/documentation.html is also confusing as the text: "How to use: Start with the quickstart and make sure you learn how to find help. Then it's as you like: go for another general tutorial, or a specific example, pick a basic notion, or some examples from the cookbook. If you've understood all you need, just browse the reference and compose your dream stream." Has so many links for a new user to click on that they're not going to know where to start. Since binaries are only available for a few Linux distros, there should be easy to follow and easy to read instructions with how to build it from source. This fact that there isn't is keeping people from using the software, and there's no editable wiki that anybody could edit to improve the poor documentation. I looked in the PACKAGES file and there's stuff in there I have no idea about, and what to uncomment and I really don't feel like going on a wild-goose chase in hopes of maybe finding something in some documentation somewhere on, for instance, what "AO" is an if that's needed. So right now, I have an untarred folder that I cannot do a thing with and I want to know if there is any better documentation in the works or if I can get some assistance on what I need to do to get it to build.
