Installation
------------

First you need to install some dependencies, for example on Ubuntu you would
write:
```
sudo apt-get install autoconf automake libtool
sudo apt-get install libltdl-dev libao-dev libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev
sudo apt-get install avahi-daemon
```

```
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
```

Notice that libao is required in order to install the shairplay binary,
otherwise only the library is compiled and installed.

Usage
-----

Check available options with ```shairplay --help```:

```
Usage: shairplay [OPTION...]

  -a, --apname=AirPort            Sets Airport name
  -p, --password=secret           Sets password
  -o, --server_port=5000          Sets port for RAOP service
      --ao_driver=driver          Sets the ao driver (optional)
      --ao_devicename=devicename  Sets the ao device name (optional)
      --ao_deviceid=id            Sets the ao device id (optional)
  -h, --help                      This help
```

Start the server with ```shairplay```, if you are connected to a Wi-Fi the
server should show as an AirPort Express on your iOS devices and Mac OS X
computers in the same network.
