Re: [gmediaserver-devel] FreeBSD Compilation woes

[James E. Flemer]

The upnp in FreeBSD ports was stale (old version) when I made the port 
for GMS.  I created a new port libupnp based on upnp for the latest 
version of libupnp (I renamed it "libupnp" to match the distribution 
name, and to avoid conflicts with the old incompatible version in the 
ports tree).  I submitted my changes for the new version of libupnp to 
the maintainer...  The devel/upnp port is *definitely* not the same as 
my libupnp port (compare the patch files in the two).

I might get around to updating the FreeBSD port to version 0.9 this 
weekend, but don't get your hopes up.  (Oskar any plans to put GMS under 
CVS on savannah?)

You do not need to do any of that manual multicast route crap on FreeBSD 
if you are using my ports/packages for libupnp and GMS (I patched 
libupnp code to correctly do an m-cast join on the address passed into 
UpnpInit()).  If your FreeBSD box is not multihomed (just one network 
interface) I don't think you would need to set up m-cast routes or apply 
my fixes to libupnp (multicast packets will be sent using the default 
route if no more specific route is found, and the m-cast join did not 
specify an interface address).
