I wanted to install tvh on this OS, following the forums/wiki to compile from src, that are somewhat dated, I thought I would post what I needed to install in order to get this to compile.

tvheadend build: sudo apt install build-essential git pkg-config libssl-dev bzip2 wget libavahi-client-dev zlib1g-dev libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev python-is-python3 gettext cmake libdvbcsa1 libdvbcsa-dev liburiparser1 libva-dev libargtable2-0 debhelper liburiparser-dev libpcre2-dev libpcre3-dev

Been a day or so, but I think this package was requested but not availble:

libavresample-dev
E: Package 'libavresample-dev' has no installation candidate
root@nuc:~# apt policy libavresample-dev 
libavresample-dev:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: (none)
  Version table:

I proceeded to give it a go. I ended up using the Autobuild.sh, after trying the ./configure, make route.
Not knowing the ins and outs of the autobuild, I ended up with this for an installed version:

HTS Tvheadend 0.0.0-unknown

So, where can I read more about whats what.

Thanks

This is something I did for Ubuntu a while back which still functions perfectly. Have a look at it and modify it for your own case scenario. https://tvheadend.org/d/8133-tvheadend-build-and-install-on-ubuntu-22-04-64-bit-x86_64-platform-for-beginners

It seems that libavresample may have been deprecated in 2017 and that

"Users of this library are asked to migrate to libswresample"

So there may be a more significant problem than following a set of instructions correctly.

It does prompt you to install libswresample-dev as an alternative when running the build process which work’s successfully. I must edit my original post to reflect that.
