To create the radiod Debian package log into the Raspberry Pi and clone the source tree from GitHub.
cd
git clone https://github.com/bobrathbone/piradio6
Now change directory to radio6 and make setup.sh executable then run it.
cd piradio6
chmod +x setup.sh
./setup.sh
This will install all of the necessary packages for the development environment and then run build.sh. The setup.sh script only needs to be run once. Subsequent builds can be done by just running the ./build.sh script. Note: The control file for the package build is called piradio
./build.sh
Finally install the new package.
sudo dpkg -i radiod_8.1_all.deb
This will install the radiod package and supporting files in the /usr/share/radio directory. To configure the radiod package further run radio-config from the command line.
