Automated installation of sopcast-player for Debian

How to install sopcast-player and related tools in Debian

1. clone this repository
2. install GNU make if you don't have it onboard already (apt-get install make)
3. run make

This will install sopcast-player and sp-sc-auth in /usr/local/bin

Why this Makefile?

After upgrading my system to Debian Jessie I found myself with neither sopcast-player nor the sp-sc-auth tool needed to watch sopcast streams. I found this post on the Problem Solved blog that was rather interesting and I thought I wanted to automate it, so that I didn't need to refer to that page any more and, in addition, I had a reproducible setup. And there we go.
