It can't seem to do UPnP at all, or at least neither of us has found the option to turn it on.

this is a feature not a bug

upnp is garbage for idiots pushed by microsoft long past its sell-by date, to continue your rotting milk metaphor

a vastly superior ietf engineered standard exists and is good. its called zeroconf. apple invented it so microsoft kept nih'ing it which is the only reason upnp still exists

zeroconf and upnp are not comparable things though. i'd guess the op means upnp-igd for nat control however, in which apple also has a different standardized solution, nat-pmp, you can recycle your post with

upnp is pretty silly, yeah, but its actually published as a standard

service discovery is a really small part of it, its like two pages of the spec

zeroconf / dns-sd solves that problem.

what upnp actually solves is the poo poo that apple never made public, like daap, and apple actively broke our implementations of it (a new itunes came out which sent a specific packet which segfaulted our daap library -- easy to fix, but the message was "we can outrun you", so we stopped working on it)

multicast dns-sd only works for printers and ip lookup, because apple never wanted to standardize the stuff they started building on top of it. i'm pretty happy with printers and ip lookup tho

upnp will never solve anything, because microsoft are the only ones who care about it

turns out all you needed all along for device compatibility across different vendors was just having devices from only one vendor, the dream is real~~

though tbqh i rather suspect that the moment you expect samsung or dlink to implement a protocol properly, whether invented in cupertino or Redmond, you can be pretty sure it'll end in tears

as with everything else, the open source community will implement it correctly, and then d-link loads it into their firmware images and it more or less works

routers can bundle random software because electricity and process table space are not their scarce resources. anything that fits in RAM will go into the image more or less

android is just hosed. have fun with all the weird poo poo samsung reinvented and jammed into a single process i guess

this can easily be fixed by getting isps to do some dpi and ip rewriting, I don't see the problem

mdnsresponder is really gross code inside, which is why it didn't catch on.

among other things, if you go download the source tarball, it doesn't use autotools or anything.

hmm yes, not using autotools is somehow "really gross"

just why would you expect something Apple wrote for Apple use and then made Open Source to use a GNU toolchain?

next you'll be surprised that clang and llvm don't use autotools either

soricidus got the emphasis right

it's not that it doesn't use autotools, it's that it doesn't use anything. instead of trying to manage headers and includes it just ships separate source directories and hope

if I recall, for OS X, iOS etc. there's an Xcode project, for Windows there's a Visual Studio project, for lesser UNIX systems there's a Makefile

why bother with autotools? to run it on some hacked-up DG-UX on an Aviion 88110-based system in someone's garage?

I'm one of those people who might actually want to run it on an Aviion or something like that, I've also done some minor looking into porting mDNSResponder itself to Haiku, and I've also brought up plenty of Open Source projects on Darwin-based operating systems to be part of the operating system or other suites that run on top of them

I think I can confidently say a Makefile and config header to customize are honestly not such a big deal for most projects, that the GNU autotools are a far bigger pain than they're worth, and that unless your project is at the scale of something like llvm you probably don't need CMake

indeed, what is the point of providing a consistent and familiar interface, when you could just ship an opaque and fragile thing that depends on people literally editing part of your source code by hand just to make it build?
