[ linux:download ] # svn export http://h264.code-shop.com/svn/h264/tags/mod_h264_streaming-2.0/lighttpd-1.4.18 lighttpd-1.4.18
[ linux:download ] # svn export --force http://h264.code-shop.com/svn/h264/tags/mod_h264_streaming-2.0/mp4split lighttpd-1.4.18/src

[ copy moov.* and mod_h264 file ]

[ linux:download ] # cp lighttpd-1.4.18/src/moov.* lighttpd-1.4.23/src/ 
[ linux:download ] # cp lighttpd-1.4.18/src/mod_h264_streaming.c lighttpd-1.4.23/src/

[ edit Makefile.am file ]

[ linux:download ] # vi lighttpd-1.4.23/src/Makefile.am 
#
# add this line after mod_flv_streaming portion:
lib_LTLIBRARIES += mod_h264_streaming.la
mod_h264_streaming_la_SOURCES = mod_h264_streaming.c moov.c
mod_h264_streaming_la_LDFLAGS = -module -export-dynamic -avoid-version -no-undefined
mod_h264_streaming_la_LIBADD = $(common_libadd) 

:: Compile and install lighttpd with h264

[ linux:download ] # cd lighttpd-1.4.23/ 
[ linux:lighttpd-1.4.23 ] # ./autogen.sh 
[ linux:lighttpd-1.4.23 ] # ./configure 
[ linux:lighttpd-1.4.23 ] # make && make install

if you want to enable pcre on lighttpd you can do this - centos - (thanks to rob moen):

[ linux:download ] # yum install pcre-devel 
[ linux:download ] # cd lighttpd-1.4.23/ 
[ linux:lighttpd-1.4.23 ] # ./autogen.sh 
[ linux:lighttpd-1.4.23 ] # ./configure --with-pcre
[ linux:lighttpd-1.4.23 ] # make && make install

:: Configuring mod_h264_streaming on lighttpd.conf 1.4.23

[ linux:lighttpd-1.4.23 ] # mkdir /etc/lighttpd
[ linux:lighttpd-1.4.23 ] # cp ./doc/lighttpd.conf /etc/lighttpd/
[ linux:lighttpd-1.4.23 ] # mkdir /var/log/lighttpd
[ linux:lighttpd-1.4.23 ] # touch /var/log/lighttpd/error.log
[ linux:lighttpd-1.4.23 ] # vi /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf
#
# on server.modules add mod_h264_streaming,
# and actived mod_expire and mod_secdownload, and other modules
server.modules              = (
etc...
"mod_expire",
"mod_secdownload",
