Notes:
This is the same simplebonjour object, but with an updated makefile which is supposed to work for 64bit architectures. The template was taken here. Alternatively you can still build it with an old makefile, but it definitely doesn't work on 64-bit version of OS X.
Also a few lines in source code were causing compile errors, so I commented them out.
Old readme:
simplebonjour written by murray foster, 10.15.10 mrafoster@gmail.com
this is a simple pure-data external that enables support for the bonjour zeroconf implementation within a user's patch.
UPDATES: 10/20/10, murray services may now be resolved with non-local domains added error message amended readme general code cleanup
INSTALL: make sure to edit makefile with the location of your pd's sources install bonjour support for your operating system (specifically dns_sd.h) $ make make sure simplebonjour is in pd's startup path
OPERATION: simplebonjour is extremely simple.
it will allow you to perform two actions find available services of specific type resolve discovered services
send a message containing "browse _yourservice._type" to the object's inlet. shortly all discovered services will be output as symbols thru right outlet. send a message containing "resolve your-servicename" to the object's inlet. optionally, a domain may be specified in the same message following the service name. default domain is .local, it should be specified as "resolve your-servicename local". if resolution succeeds a float containing the service's port number will output from simplebonjour's left outlet. then continue to configure remaining ports and prefixes in pure-data!
