Hi Michael, Thanks for the clarification. I'd like to try Alex's DACP support code. I started by trying to build libdmapsharing from source (from git), and have a couple of small suggestions - I hope the RB folk don't mind me using their mailing list, since it is related. Please add a .gitignore file which should cover *.o and *.lo at least, plus all the files you expect to be automatically generated. Could you update the INSTALL file to mention running ./autogen.sh if the configure file isn't there? Perhaps a section for compiling from git rather than a release tarball would help... I guess this is less usual [This point applies to RB too by the way]. Having installed libdmapsharing using --prefix=$HOME I now need to work out how to get RB to detect it at configure time... $ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH /home/peterjc/lib:/usr/local/lib: $ ./configure --prefix=$HOME --enable-daap ... checking for DMAPSHARING... no configure: error: DAAP support explicitly requested, but libdmapsharing couldn't be found It is getting late here, so I will return to this another day.
