[Problem]: NanoPi NEO Plus2 with old (?) version of Linux.

[theEagleFly]

What happened?

Dear my friends:

Now I am using Neo Plus2 with ubuntu and tyring to install shairport-sync.
I used the "--with-airplay-2" to do ./configure
when I start to "make", the program went wrong.
Please check the info and the steps below.

These were steps I used:

1. apt-get update && apt-get upgrade

2. install the tools, the guild page mentioned (except xxd, because the apt-get cannot find xxd.

3. install xxd from https://github.com/ckormanyos/xxd.git

4. install nqptp as the guild page tell me.

5. install libplist from https://github.com/libimobiledevice/libplist.git
   because the libplist version from apt-get is lower than 2.0
   (by the way, apt-get can not install higher version than 2.0)

6. git clone https://github.com/mikebrady/shairport-sync.git
   and used the "--with-airplay-2" to do ./configure
   then make, and got the errors.

PulseAudio or PipeWire installed?

• Check if your system uses a Sound Server.

How did you install Shairport Sync?

Built from source

Thanks for the post. I looks like your Linux -- and consequently the toolsets and libraries -- is pretty old. Could that be the cause of the problems?

[theEagleFly]

Thanks for your fast reply.
The old version might be the reason.
But I wrote a lot code for the old version and i am trying to make it work.
the main problem is the version of xxd and libplist in the old version of apt-get
Is it possible to make it work ?

[mikebrady]

I really don't know, TBH, but I guess not for AirPlay 2. xxd might be okay, but libplist has had many improvements. It might be worth trying to build Classic AirPlay rather than AirPlay 2, though.

Thank you, i will try to fix it, or upgrad ubuntu if i couldnt.
