Re: Getting started in Linux

Hello, I would like to get started developing with
Rendezvous on Linux, but I'm not sure how to do that.

From the main Rendezvous development page, I
downloaded the three packages for POSIX:
mDNSResponder, bootp-110, Libinfo-173

I got mDNSResponder compiled and working on my Linux
box and I can see and advertise certain services with
other computers on my network. I don't know what
bootp-110  and Libinfo-173 are for and what I'm
supposed to do with them.

The bootp and Libinfo packages are specific to OS X. You don't need them for Linux.

I wrote a simple test program in OS X using Rendezvous
which seems to work. I would like to bring it over and
compile it on Linux now. I found a dns_sd.h header
file in the mDNSResponder code, but I can't figure out
where the Rendezvous libraries are located so I can
link to them.


If you something along the lines of:

cd mDNSResponder/mDNSPosix
make os=linux
sudo make os=linux install

then libmdns.so should end up in /usr/lib. When you're building your test program, pass -lmdns to the linker.

I should mention that we discovered today that some of the source files in the Darwin CVS respository are not completely up to date. We're in the process of looking at this; it should be fixed soon.


cheers,

Roger.
