Hi Rene,
Thank you so much for doing this. If 'make check' succeeds, those are
the main tests, but to check installation, I would look for the
following programs being installed:
ola ola_e131 ola_plugin_state ola_rdm_set
ola_set_priority ola_trigger ola_uni_name ola_artnet
ola_dmxconsole ola_patch ola_rdm_discover ola_recorder
ola_streaming_client ola_uni_info ola_uni_stats olad
ola_dmxmonitor ola_plugin_info ola_rdm_get ola_set_dmx
ola_timecode ola_uni_merge ola_usbpro ola_dev_info
These are the programs installed by the Debian ola package, and I don't
know what packaging options might have affected which were installed,
but the list should be more or less the same.
To start the ola daemon and generate a config:
olad -c ~/my-ola
This should start a web service on port 9090, so you can point a web
browser to localhost:9090 and see if anything comes up.
To connect the dummy device,
ola_patch -d 1 -p 0 -u 0
Universe 0 should then be listed in both the web interface and in:
ola_uni_info
If those things work, the only remaining thing to test is actual
hardware control, but we would be in pretty good shape.
Thanks again.
