Here's a quick guide on how to build Flumotion on Ubuntu 9.04

Step zero: Get the dependencies:

sudo apt-get install build-essential subversion libtool autoconf automake python2.6 python-kiwi python-gtk2-dev python-twisted python-twisted-names gstreamer0.10-plugins-base libgstreamer0.10-0 libgstreamer0.10-dev python-gst0.10 gstreamer0.10-plugins-good

First step: create a dir wherever you want to:

mkdir flumotion

cd flumotion

Second step: Checkout the sources:

svn co https://code.fluendo.com/flumotion/svn/flumotion/trunk/ .

Third step: "sh autogen":

sh autogen.sh

If the script asks for additional packages (which means I forgot to mention one) just install the missing package with synaptics or from commandline as descibed above.

Fourth step: "make":

make

Fifth step: "make":

sudo make install

If everything went well, you should have flumotion installed in:

flumotion: /usr/local/sbin/flumotion /usr/local/lib/flumotion

If not check the error messages and install additional packages if needed.

Last step: Start flumotion:

flumotion-admin &

Voilá!

If you need additional help, or if theres something wrong, drop me a line at fl0@thisurl or leave me a comment. I strongly recommend to skim through the flumotion tutorials and documentation which can be found here.
