POCO DNS-SD (Zeroconf) Wrapper Library for Bonjour and Avahi

This is a POCO-based wrapper library providing an easy-to-use and unified programming interface to Apple Bonjour and Avahi libraries implementing DNS Service Discovery (DNS-SD, also known as Zeroconf).

Prerequisites

The Apple Bonjour SDK is needed on Windows (and OS X, of course). The Avahi client libraries are needed on Linux.

Getting Started

Clone into the root of an existing POCO source tree.

$ git clone https://github.com/pocoproject/poco-dnssd.git DNSSD

On Linux, build with cmake like below.

$ git apply DNSSD/CMakeLists.diff
$ sudo ./build_cmake.sh

On Windows or OS X, build with cmake like below.

$ git apply DNSSD/CMakeLists.diff
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake ..
$ make -j8

For build without using cmake on Windows, build the included Visual C++ solution. On Linux/OS X, build with POCO_BASE environment variable set to the root of the POCO source tree.

$ export POCO_BASE=`pwd`
$ cd DNSSD
$ make -s -j8
$ make -s -j8 -C Default
