I should have read the man page…
You can daemonise the program with option -d. As daemon, it tells to exit with
return value 2.
A bit googling learned that the cause is a missing folder /usr/var/run, where
the PID is stored.
All works well after creating this folder. My music library is on my iMac and
I can now stream it to my LFS box.
Thanks for the hint.
I a now considering to rebuild shairport-sync with option —prefix=/usr.
Maybe a candidate for BLFS?
