Hi all,

could someone compile https://github.com/sm3rt/OpenWRT-ShairPort for me on ar7xx trunk please?

Or better yet, upgrade the ShairPort that is part of OpenWRT to this version?

Uses the latest https://github.com/abrasive/shairport version against a TPLINK WR703N on openWRT, works well on attitude adjustment

Advantage: Its only dependency is ALSA. Which should make it small enough for the wr703n and similar devices.

I tried to compile this but somehow I don't succeed.

Try again to build it by yourself. Its not that hard.

What is the error?

I can help you compile one if you can pay for my time to work on it.
I am using this on rt3052. Otherwise, it is best you work it out yourself.

Or at least provide some space were I can upload/host the final package for free....

Open a dropbox account or something?
There are plenty of free service that can host files.

written_direcon, please use e.g., http://www.mirrorupload.net - you can upload there and it will host the file to multiple mirrors. No need to sign up or anything. Just drag and drop file(s) and press "Start". In the end you will get a link, please post the link here.

Thank you so much for your help! And thanks for your patience with someone new to OpenWrt.

Well, I personally don't like those services.

I mean, if you can provide me free space on a web or FTP server to host a complete OpenWrt package repository...

I do operate my own http server, I can mirror/host it there. But I cannot give away the login credentials. How large is what you'd like to have hosted, and do you have a way to send it to me so that I can host it?

Alternatively, sourceforge.net provides free file hosting that you can access with scp/sftp/ssh.

I just need a simple FTP or Web server nothing more or less...

Perhaps this serves your needs - a service especially for hosting repos:

Right now compilation fails with

Possibly related to:

* https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/1648
* https://github.com/openwrt/packages/issues/1637

But not clear to me what I need to do.

The discussion might have continued from here.
