HDHomeRun Config GTK instructions
Extract both libhdhomerun and hdhomerun_config_gui to the same directory, e.g.:
directory/libhdhomerun directory/hdhomerun_config_gui
From the hdhomerun_config_gui directory, run:
./configure make sudo make install
Troubleshooting
During the ./configure step, if you receive an error about gtk+-2.0 not being installed, you will need to install it using your distribution’s package management system. On most Debian-based distributions, including Ubuntu, use the following command:
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
If you receive an error stating hdhomerun_config_gui: error while loading shared libraries: libhdhomerun.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory when attempting to run hdhomerun_config_gui, run the following:
sudo ldconfig
