Fedora Installation Guide

Update everything...

# yum update

Install the toolchain and pre-requisites, if necessary:

# yum install make automake gcc gcc-c++ kernel-devel
# yum install alsa-lib-devel autoconf automake avahi-devel libconfig-devel \
    libdaemon-devel openssl-devel popt-devel soxr-devel rpmbuild

Download the tarball from the "releases" tab on github or use wget and then use rpmbuild. Alternatively, download a tarball of the master branch, as in this example:

$ wget -O shairport-sync-master.tar.gz https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync/archive/master.tar.gz
$ rpmbuild -ta shairport-sync-master.tar.gz

The -ta means "build all from this tarball".

The RPM will be built in a directory and will have a pathname like, for example, ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/i686/shairport-sync-2.6-1.fc22.i686.rpm You should then install it with (for this example):

$ sudo rpm -i ~/rpmbuild/RPMS/i686/shairport-sync-2.6-1.fc22.i686.rpm

You may have to manually create the directory /var/shairport-sync beforehand for the installation to succeed. Having edited the configuration file /etc/shairport-sync.conf as appropriate (see Configuring Shairport Sync), enable and start the service with:

# systemctl enable shairport-sync.service
# systemctl start shairport-sync.service
