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. -- John Foerch
