      icecast 2.x - README
      ---------------------------------------------------------------------

      Icecast is a streaming media server which currently supports Ogg
      Vorbis and MP3 audio streams. It can be used to create an Internet
      radio station or a privately running jukebox and many things in
      between. It is very versatile in that new formats can be added
      relatively easily and supports open standards for commuincation and
      interaction.

      Prerequisites
      ---------------------------------------------------------------------
      icecast requires the following packages :

      * libxml2 - http://xmlsoft.org/downloads.html
      * libxslt - http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/downloads.html
      * curl - http://curl.haxx.se/download.html (>= version 7.10 required)
        NOTE: icecast may be compiled without curl, however this will
              disable all Directory server interaction (YP).
      * ogg/vorbis - http://www.vorbis.com/files (>= version 1.0 required)

      A Note About RPMS
      ---------------------------------------------------------------------
      This section only applies to you if your operating system uses RPMS.

      In order to build icecast, you will need to install the "devel" RPM
      packages for each of the prerequisite packages in addition to the
      normal RPMS for each package.

      please check the websites for each of the prerequisite packages for
      appropriate download links for RPMS.

      Build/Install
      ---------------------------------------------------------------------
      To build icecast on a Unix platform, perform the following :

      Run
         ./configure
         make
         make install

      To build and install this release.

      A sample config file will be placed in /usr/local/etc (on UNIX) or in
      the current working directory (on Win32) and is called icecast.xml
