I'm attempting to build and install the DAAP/MPD server forked-daapd in a jail on my FreeNAS box running 11.1 and running into some trouble, so I wanted to see if anyone has had success compiling a recent release of this program on a modern version of FreeNAS?
https://github.com/ejurgensen/forked-daapd
(The most recent posts I can find here or elsewhere on the subject are a couple of years old, and both forked-daapd and FreeNAS have gone through a lot of revisions since then. The author concedes that building this thing on FreeBSD is tricky in general, so not surprising that it's not working out of the box in FreeNAS.)
There's an install script included that I used to get the dependencies and companion services (avahi-daemon and dbus) built and running, but the script fails with the following error when it attempts to build forked-daapd itself. I'm guessing this may be something as simple as a minor error in the makefile that needs to be tweaked, but I'm not nearly competent enough with *nix to deduce exactly what needs to be done. Various tricks and tweaks I've found that people used on prior versions no longer seem to work.
This thing seems pretty neat -- if (like me) you store your iTunes library on your NAS and have AirPlay devices in your house, you can stream your music to them by running this lightweight service instead of having to keep the iTunes client running on a separate machine all the time. It supports Remote on iOS devices and has a web interface for admin and stuff. Seems pretty robust.
