Avahi Warning message when starting uxplay

Open coding-JEF opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

I might look really stupid, but how do I start the server? Which command do I have to type in?

Thanks a lot!

Ok now I know that you can start it with ./uxplay

But then I get a warning message:

** WARNING *** The program 'uxplay' uses the Apple Bonjour compatibility layer of Avahi. *** WARNING *** Please fix your application to use the native API of Avahi! *** WARNING *** For more information see http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/avahi-compat.html

What can I do to fix?!

As far as I know, there is nothing you can do about it. Developers have to use that compatibility layer because Apple is Apple and they do what they do, but FOSS is FOSS and freedom does not like proprietary software. In short, that warning is okay.
