Description Luca Ferretti 2005-11-23 19:23:26 UTC 
I suppose that avahi will replace howl in most distros. It could be interesting
test it.

Note that currently on HEAD at least gnome-vfs, rhythmbox and gnome-user-share
support it.
Comment 1 James Henstridge 2005-11-24 03:47:16 UTC 
I've added initial rules for building libdaemon + avahi to freedesktop.modules.
 The avahi configure script is a bit of a pain though, so it is difficult to
find a good set of configure flags to pass.
Comment 2 Luca Ferretti 2005-11-24 08:45:33 UTC 
Yeah. The last time I've tried, I was forced to add a lot of --disable rules :-(

Maybe we should open a bug against avahi, asking to fail configure only if core
deps are missing.
Comment 4 James Henstridge 2005-11-29 01:15:30 UTC 
The configure args there look like they'd fail if mono/monodoc were not installed.
Comment 5 James Henstridge 2006-04-23 10:30:18 UTC 
Reported a bug about this at the avahi bug tracker:
  http://www.avahi.org/ticket/34
Comment 6 James Henstridge 2006-05-15 05:43:26 UTC 
While waiting for the change, it is probably worth working out an appropriate set of flags that will make avahi build in most situations.  It won't give test coverage to the optional features we disable, but should allow us to test the avahi code paths in other modules.

Possibly stealing the GARNOME configure flags would be a good idea.

avahi has been supported for a long time now.
