<div>Hi all,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have an issue when registering a service via the Avahi API. Below is a small code file that produces the issue. In the code file I put a comment where the error code -49 ("Not supported") is returned by the library. What am I doing wrong??</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have Avahi 0.6.25 running on Fedora 13. Due to other restrictions I cannot upgrade to a higher version of Fedora and thus am "confined" to using Fedora 0.6.25 which is the highest version available in a binary version for this OS.</div>
<div>The configuration of Avahi (avahi-daemon.conf) is default and was not changed. The Avahi-daemon is running.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In the code file I removed all other error detection and handling to prevent a large code file which might be harder to understand. The service is registered on another domain that .local which is where it goes wrong. If I change the code below and replace
AVAHI_PUBLISH_USE_WIDE_AREA with 0 (a zero) and "mydomain.com" with NULL, the service myservice._mytype._tcp.local can be found and resolved on another computer running Apple's Bonjour service.</div>
