Hello,

I am trying to compile 0.2.4 on Solaris 8. I ran the configure script successfully. When I run the make command, I receive the error below. I have an older version of mt-daapd on the system, but as documented, does not work with the latest iTunes. What am I doing wrong?

I think it’s a uint32_t typedef in mdns.h that isn’t right, but I think there may be more than that. I think it’s possible that the easiest way to get it working is to use howl as the mdns responder. If that is a possiblity, then you can just configure it with –enable-howl, and use the appropriate –with-howl-includes and –with-howl-libs and it should go okay.

Failing that, I don’t have a solaris 8 machines, and I haven’t seen a patch or recommendations appear on how to fix it on solaris.

Is it possible to use howl? If not, I could set up an opensolaris machine and see if that exhibits the same problems, but it will probably take me a while.

That one I *do* know offhand — edit the file that’s ticked off about not having “getopt.h” and replace it with “unistd.h” instead.
