Avahi 0.6.1 and above offer full API and ABI compatibility with HOWL and Bonjour out-of-the-box. To enable this you pass --enable-compat-libdns_sd and/or --enable-compat-howl to the configure script. The build system installs both a shared library libdns_sd.so and one named libhowl.so. These files might overwrite the original implementations, so take care! Distributors that want full build system compatibility in addition to ABI/API compatibility should: 1) Symlink the pkg-config file avahi-compat-howl.pc to howl.pc 2) Symlink $(includedir)/avahi-compat-libdns_sd/dns_sd.h to $(includedir)/dns_sd.h -- Lennart $Id$
