Appendix (UPnP control point):
Set Up a Running CP - General Procedure (cont'd)
5. Install and build Cyberlink C++ library
Return back to the CP sources folder and unzip/untar the third source package with the command:
$ gzip -d CyberLink4CC.tar.gz && tar -xf CyberLink4CC.tar
When finished, step into the brand new folder with the same name of the archive and prepare to build sources
$ cd CyberLink4CC
$ ./configure --enable-libxml2
$ make
$ sudo make install
6. Install control point sources
When all the previous installation are completed, the last archive to extract is the main control point folder:
$ gzip -d controlpoint.tar.gz && tar -xf controlpoint.tar
7. Install UI web server
Another thing to do before start to compile control point sources and running programs is to install on the same machine that host CP a simple and lightweight HTTP server that is able to run .cgi scripts and in which user interface will reside. There are several alternatives available on the open source world; in this case, lighttpd was chosen for its simple configuration and its less heavier occupation in terms of disk space and cpu/ram usage. It's also directly available on debian 8.x default repositories, so there's no need for 'compiling from source' in this case:
$ sudo apt-get install lighttpd
A successful installation can be detected if the web server reply to the page requested at its ip address (for example, using a browser on another host) with the classic 'placeholder page' index.html
