shairport-sync/INSTALL.md

Type make to build the packet decoder, hairtunes.

You need the following installed:

• openssl
• libao (if you use homebrew, use brew install libao)
• avahi (avahi-daemon running and avahi-publish-service on path, no need on Mac OSX)
• Perl

Debian/Ubuntu users need:

libssl-dev libcrypt-openssl-rsa-perl libao2 libao-dev libio-socket-inet6-perl libwww-perl avahi-utils

Perl modules (install from CPAN if needed e.g. perl -MCPAN -e 'install X'):

• HTTP::Message
• Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA
• IO::Socket::INET6

MacOSX:

• install XCode

• install Homebrew

• type:

  $ export ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64"
  $ brew install pkg-config libao
  $ make
  $ perl -MCPAN -e 'install Crypt::OpenSSL::RSA'
  $ perl -MCPAN -e 'install IO::Socket::INET6'
  $ perl shairport.pl
  

OSX 10.5 only bundles Perl 5.8, which won't work with shairport. After getting a update here, it worked.

How to run as a daemon on Mac 10.6

$ cp hairtunes shairport.pl /usr/local/bin
$ vi /usr/local/bin/shairport.pl, change the path of hairtunes from ./hairtunes to /usr/local/bin/hairtunes
$ mkdir -p ~/Library/LaunchAgents
$ cp org.mafipulation.shairport.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
$ launchctl load org.mafipulation.shairport.plist
$ launchctl unload org.mafipulation.shairport.plist (to remove)
