When compiling using +qt5 flag, it is alright.
But when -qt5, it is not.

Do you have libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev installed? Important to be the dev version.

It's one library, not 3 seperate ones.

You have to install the corresponding library libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev for your Linux distribution. If you can't find one named like that it might be under another name.

You realize that barrier (the GUI executable) uses QT5, right? (Though, now that I think of it, I think you can compile barrier w/o QT and it should only build the CLI components)

Yes.
If configured, i won't need the GUI and its dependances packages.
It is the same as the **libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev ** librairy : it is a avahi library compatible with "Apple Bonjour", right ?
I don't use/have Apple product.

In order to compile it you need the following libraries or their equivalent for your linux distribution:

xorg-dev
g++
libcurl4-openssl-dev
libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev
libssl-dev
libx11-dev
libqt4-dev
qtbase5-dev

In the file you attached, you are missing the "libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev" library or its equivalent for your linux distribution, which is why I mentioned it. Make sure you have all of them if you want to compile it from source.

Yep, avahi is compatible with Bonjour/Zeroconf. It's (optionally) used so that clients can automatically find + connect to servers. So it's not related to whether you have any apple products or not...

And as @Mihai-MCW said, you need the avahi compatibility library to compile barrier, there currently isn't an option to compile without avahi support.

I had the same problem, but sloved it using this command

dnf install avahi avahi-compat-libdns_sd avahi-compat-libdns_sd-devel

I'm runing Fedora 28.
I hope this helps.

I know this issue has been long closed, but apparently the solution to get barrier to build on gentoo is to emerge avahi like this:

USE="mdnsresponder-compat" emerge net-dns/avahi

Adrian saved my butt, but I want to add one note, the better thing to do is add the following to /etc/portage/package.use:
net-dns/avahi mdnsresponder-compat
and then emerge net-dns/avahi. this way you don't lose it if you update.

Sorry for a newbie question, but does anyone have the answer / approach for building on Ubuntu18.04 ?

Please try Deskflow or Input Leap as Barrier is no longer in development.

https://github.com/deskflow/deskflow
https://github.com/input-leap/input-leap

AFAIK, Input Leap still uses Bonjour/Avahii but we removed that entirely in Deskflow.
