Quick and dirty instructions for building nginx with rtmp support

README.md

#Compiling Nginx with RTMP module

1. Install the following packages sudo apt-get install python-software-properties dpkg-dev git
2. Add Nginx repo sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/stable
3. Update package list sudo apt-get update
4. Get nginx source (put this in it's own dir like /build sudo apt-get source nginx-full
5. Move into the src dir cd /build/nginx-x.x.x
6. Grab the build dependecies for nginx-full sudo apt-get build-dep nginx-full
7. Grab the nginx-rtmp-module source into modules folder for the nginx source cd /build/nginx-x.x.x/debian/modules git clone git://github.com/arut/nginx-rtmp-module.git
8. Move back into the src dir cd /build/nginx-x.x.x
9. Add the module to the configure rules in nginx-x.x.x/debian/rules for all the versions --add-module=$(MODULESDIR)/nginx-rtmp-module \
10. Make an update to the changelog dch -i
11. rebuild the package sudo dpkg-buildpackage -uc -b
12. The debs can be installed using sudo dpkg -i PACKAGE_NAME.deb (you'll need to move all the debs)

This can probably be done a slightly less clunky fashion or by using the Launchpad PPA system somehow

root@debian8:/usr/src/nginx-1.6.2# dch -i
-su: dch: command not found

:(

apt-get install -y devscripts

:)

$(MODULESDIR) is meant to be changed to the actual path or is it a variable?
