Installing to Cygwin

This is based on installing onto a fresh default installation of Cygwin 2.4.1 (64-bit installation) running in Windows 10 inside VMWare Fusion on a Mac.

Note: to enable Cygwin to resolve domain names, it was found necessary to go to Windows Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network Connections > Ethernet0 > Properties > Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Properties, select Use the following DNS server addresses and enter valid DNS server addresses, e.g. 8.8.8.8.

  • Use Cygwin Setup to install the following packages:

    • pkg-config
    • autoconf
    • automake
    • clang
    • libdaemon-devel
    • popt-devel
    • make
    • libao-devel
    • openssl-devel
    • libtool
    • git
    • wget for convenience,
    • flex for compiling libconfig
    • bison for compiling libconfig

  • Download, configure, compile and install libconfig.

For this, if your home directory name has a space in it, which happens by default with Cygwin, you should temporarily rename it to a single word, e.g. Mike Brady -> mike. This is to allow the make install script to work properly.

$ wget http://www.hyperrealm.com/libconfig/libconfig-1.5.tar.gz
$ tar -xvzf  libconfig-1.5.tar.gz
$ cd libconfig-1.5
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
$ cd ..
  • Next, download, configure and compile Shairport Sync:
$ git clone https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync.git
$ cd shairport-sync
$ autoreconf -fi
$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig ./configure --with-ao --with-ssl=openssl --with-tinysvcmdns
$ make
$ make install
  • That's it. There should be a shairport-sync.exe file in your directory.
