I have Bonjour (mDNSResponder - Linux version) up and running on a Ubuntu Box (Host A). I have managed to port Avahi to a new platform. As I see, ./mDNSNetMonitor is able to discover the service published by avahi on say different host, Host B (/etc/avahi/services/myservice.service) . This means that Bonjour is able to discover the service published by Avahi.
My question here is, why do I need avahi-compat-libdns_sd library. In the context of experiment, do I need to port avahi-compat-libdns_sd library also to the new platform (Host B)? Note that Avahi running on Host B is 'Dbus enabled'.
