Error when building the development branch of Shairport-sync

[nayshal]

What happened?

When running ./configure --sysconfdir=/etc --with-alsa \ --with-soxr --with-avahi --with-ssl=openssl --with-systemd-startup --with-airplay-2

to install Shairport-sync i get the below:

configure: error: plistutil can not be found. Please install plistutil for building for AirPlay 2. Maybe it's in the apt package libplist-utils.

Relevant log output

autoreconf -fi
