The MacIPpi Rpi. The MacIPpi concept for Raspberry Pi.

Ah. How good to know!

I never used it for printing, but would like to find out how it works. I have a Laserprinter and it is cool if I can print on it from my old Macs. So I will look into it.

If you have more tips, wishes or requirements. Please let me know.

Ah. I see. OK will look at the 2.x branch for this moment. I also see your instructions for an easy install om a RPi.

What version of the RPi OS are you running? As you can see in a subsequent post in that thread, Bullseye or older will require different steps to build netatalk.

Couldn't resist to give it a try ...
Installed netatalk-2.4.4.
Followed the meson tutorial.
Had to install two extra packages:

apt install libdb-dev
apt install libgcrypt20-dev

Nicely done!

If you haven't done this already, I would recommend you also install and build with: libssl-dev (for DHX secure Classic Mac OS auth), libcups2-dev (for AppleTalk printing), libavahi-client-dev (for Zeroconf service discovery) and libpam0g-dev (for more secure auth.)
