I just finished building shairport-sync on my iMac-G3 (LFS 7.2) and PowerMac G4
(LFS 7.7).
[I know, this is old stuff. You’re simply going too fast for me and my old
Apple computers]
I applied the procedures as described on
https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync
The only missing dependency (not in BLFS) is libconfig, that I found on
http://www.hyperrealm.com/libconfig/ <http://www.hyperrealm.com/libconfig/>.
The G4 is using systemd, so it was easy to advertise it as a new service at
startup (sorry Bruce…).
The G3 is using system V, so I had to create a boot script for it. My script
seems to work, but I find this in boot.log:
Aug 03 14:51:20 +02:00 iMac400 Starting the Shairport-sync service…Aug 03
14:58:29 +02:00 iMac400 FAIL
Aug 03 14:58:29 +02:00 iMac400 FAILURE:
You should not be reading this error message.
It means that an unforeseen error took place in
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S90shairport-sync,
which exited with a return value of 143.
If you're able to track this error down to a bug in one of
the files provided by the files provided by
the LFS book, please be so kind to inform us at

Aug 03 14:58:29 +02:00 iMac400 Press Enter to continue...--------
The boot process stops and I get no prompt. I can however logon with SSH and
find 2 processes (instead of one):
root 2798 2233 0 14:51 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh
/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S90shairport-sync start
root 2818 2798 10 14:51 ? 00:00:15 /usr/local/bin/shairport-sync
The computer returns to a normal status when I kill 2798.
I have a similar problem when I manually start the service:
no prompt anymore, but shairport-sync is running until I press <CTRL>-C.
This is my boot script:
start)
log_info_msg "Starting the Shairport-sync service…"
start_daemon /usr/local/bin/shairport-sync
evaluate_retval
The script looks OK although I know nothing about shairport-sync. What is
happening is that shairport-sync is reporting a problem. The start_daemon
is really only running /usr/local/bin/shairport-sync and that is returning
a non-zero value.
Note that evaluate_retval() only logs a message,
It's easy enough to debug the script. Just remove the symlink from
/etc/rc.d/rc{3,5}.d and run '/etc/init.d/shairport-sync start' from the
command line (as root),
