reinstalling rendezvous/bonjour

[federalists]

i downloaded the new source and tried compiling and installing for panther and now my mDNSResponder is hosed. anyone have any ideas on just getting back to the normal panther versions (without reinstalling?) or, on correctly installing the newest version? the makefiles aren't all the way defined, so...

i think i want to replace mDNSResponder, the dynamic library, and header files.

Why were you doing this? I thought mDNSResponder is the open source for other BSDs and Linux, not for OS X. If anything, your answer will be found here, http://developer.apple.com/darwin/projects/bonjour/

nope, mDNSResponder comes on every mac starting with jaguar, i believe. regardless, panther's version lacks many things that tiger has like WAN translation, etc. also, the source being released for linux is the new version, so i wanted to standardize my panther code and my linux code for this project.

i eventually figured out how to fix it. for anyone else who attempts to upgrade their rendezvous/bonjour responders you can get the source from apple for bonjour. open the mac os x xcode project and build it. then put the mDNSResponder in /usr/sbin and the dynamic library in /usr/lib and the header file dns_sd.h from the shared dir in /usr/include. hope that helps someone else. not much info about this out there...
