Installing to Cygwin

This is based on installing onto a fresh default installation of Cygwin 2.4.1 (64-bit installation) running in Windows 10 inside VMWare Fusion on a Mac.

Note: to enable Cygwin to resolve domain names, it was found necessary to go to Windows Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Connections > Ethernet0 > Properties > Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Properties, select Use the following DNS server addresses and enter valid DNS server addresses, e.g. 8.8.8.8.

• Use Cygwin Setup to install the following packages:

  • pkg-config
  • autoconf
  • automake
  • clang
  • libdaemon-devel
  • popt-devel
  • make
  • libao-devel
  • openssl-devel
  • libtool
  • git
  • wget for convenience,
  • flex for compiling libconfig
  • bison for compiling libconfig

• Download, configure, compile and install libconfig:

$ git clone https://github.com/hyperrealm/libconfig.git
$ cd libconfig
$ autoreconf -fi
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
$ cd ..

• Next, download, configure and compile Shairport Sync:

$ git clone https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync.git
$ cd shairport-sync
$ autoreconf -fi
$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --with-ao --with-ssl=openssl --with-tinysvcmdns
$ make
$ make install

• That's it. There should be a shairport-sync.exe file in your directory.
