Topic: bonjour support

The content of this topic has been archived on 29 Mar 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Anyone ever try to get bonjour set-up?  I'd like to set-up an openwrt with usb and do printer sharing.  Then advertise those services with bonjour.

You have the choice :
- avahi (avahi-daemon)
- howl (mDNSResponder)

I like avahi, but I don't see it in the ipkg package list.  I do see it in the http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/ though, does this mean it's coming soon, (like with the next release?)

I just relized your the devoper that made avahi work in openwrt.  Thank you.  However I can't find the complited packages anywhere, just dead links to your testing folder.

I ended up pulling the ipk stuff you wrote from svn for avahi 0.6.10.  I had to add a patch to help avahi complie in a ipv6less enviroment, and I had to change a few minor things in the files.  All is well now!

Hive Networks has made their custom OpenWRT which uses Bonjour for service discovery both for Apple and Windows.

Search the forum, you can find a lot of things here...

Apple's Open Source mDNSResponder code should work on any version of
Linux.

We've been busy with Leopard, so the Posix code hasn't got a lot of
attention recently. I think there a couple of empty routines that would
need to be implemented, but it shouldn't be a lot of work. We hope to get
it done soon, or someone else could do it...
