Install the required dependencies according to the information in [https://github.com/Opendigitalradio/ODR-DabMux/blob/master/INSTALL.md INSTALL.md] file.
===Prerequisites===
 
 
 
====Boost====
 
You will need to install Boost at least version 1.42. The one from your distribution is probably fine, and if you have installed GNURadio or UHD, you will already have it.
 
 
 
For example on Debian:
 
apt-get install libboost-all-dev
 
 
 
====ZeroMQ====
 
If you want to use the zeromq inputs or outputs, you need a recent (4.0.4 is best) version of [http://zeromq.org/ ZeroMQ]. It is probably preferred to install it from source:
 
 
 
wget http://download.zeromq.org/zeromq-4.0.4.tar.gz
 
tar -zxvf zeromq-4.0.4.tar.gz
 
cd zeromq-4.0.4
 
./configure
 
make
 
sudo make install
 
 
 
This will install it into /usr/local
 
 
 
====LibFEC====
 
ODR-DabMux also depends on [http://www.ka9q.net/code/fec/ libfec from Phil Karn]. On 64-bit machines, the original libfec doesn't compile (" fec.h:267: Error: bad register name `%dil' "). A patched version that compiles on x86_64 (and even on ARM) is available [https://github.com/Opendigitalradio/ka9q-fec/archive/master.zip on GitHub (.zip)]
 
 
 
===Compilation===
 
Once the prerequisites are installed, download ODR-DabMux from the package or git
 
git clone https://github.com/Opendigitalradio/ODR-DabMux
 
 
 
then in the ODR-DabMux directory do
 
./bootstrap.sh
 
./configure --enable-input-zeromq --enable-output-zeromq
 
make
 
sudo make install
 
 
 
 
 
or, if you don't have zeromq:
 
./configure
 
make
 
sudo make install
 
 
 
then you can execute, as a test
 
odr-dabmux -h

Please follow the steps in the [http://opendigitalradio.github.io/mmbtools-doc/mmbtools.pdf guide] to get up and running.

There are quite many arguments and options, and the best is to read the manpage (man odr-dabmux) first, and then to look at some examples (e.g. [https://github.com/mpbraendli/mmbtools-aux/blob/master/mux-throttled.sh mux-throttled.sh])

ODR-DabMux is a free open source DAB Multiplexer initially developed by Communication Research Center (CRC) from Canada, and subsequently forked by Opendigitalradio. It is a command line tool.

The development is done publicly on GitHub with releases available as git tags. The git master branch always points to the latest release, the next branch is where development happens.

The main communication channel is the CRC-mmbTools Google Group mailing list



Build information for ODR-DabMux

Install the required dependencies according to the information in INSTALL.md file.

Each time you update from the git repository (either git checkout or git pull) you should do

./bootstrap.sh

to re-generate the autotools scripts and generate the ./configure script


Usage

Please follow the steps in the guide to get up and running.


Configuration file

The full configuration can also be specified in a configuration file.

The example configuration file that is included in doc (example.mux) contains an example with a multiplex consisting of two services. The example file is commented, and is a good example to build your own. The advanced.mux presents more options.

To run odr-dabmux with a configuration file, run

odr-dabmux my_config.mux

Information from the ODR Archives

Documentation and descriptions on CRC-DabMux can be found on http://mmbtools.crc.ca/content/view/39/65/

The last version published by CRC is version 0.3.0.4, on which the latest developments are based.


Patch to increase page size

Some glitches have been noticed on some machines. They are due to underruns in the FIFO. This patch increases the buffer sizes in the mux. wrning, this patch will also increase the delay. To apply it use, the patch command. (for CRC-DabMux <= 0.3.0.4)
