How to setup (Debian Wheezy)

Since we are going to compile, we need build-essential package: apt-get install build-essential

Then we need shairport dependencies: apt-get install libssl-dev libavahi-client-dev libasound2-dev libao-dev libpulse-dev

Now we need to get shairport source so, we change to /usr/local/src/ directory cd /usr/local/src/ and get shairport wget https://codeload.github.com/abrasive/shairport/zip/master unzip it unzip master and clean up mv master shairport-master.zip

Let's go to compile it: cd shairport-master/ ./configure make make install

Now we are going to set it up to run it at boot: cd scripts/debian/ cp default/shairport /etc/default/ cp init.d/shairport /etc/init.d/ cp logrotate.d/shairport /etc/logrotate.d/ useradd -g audio shairport update-rc.d shairport defaults

YMMV. Enjoy!
