How to build for Linux
----------------------

First you need to configure:

	$ ./configure

If any dependencies are missing the configure script will complain or attempt
to disable optional features.

Build the binary:

	$ make

After build, the binary resides in `build.linux` directory.

Thus, to start it, just type:

	$ ./build.linux/tvheadend

Settings are stored in `$HOME/.hts/tvheadend`.

How to build for OS X
---------------------

Same build procedure applies to OS X.
After build, the binary resides in `build.darwin` directory.

Only network sources (IPTV, SAT>IP) are supported on OS X.
There is no support for DVB USB sticks and PCI cards.
Transcoding is currently not supported.
