What is GSSDP FOR LINUX?

GSSDP

GSSDP is a free, open-source library software that’s super lightweight. It serves as an API (Application Programming Interface) based on GObject, and it's made to help with resource discovery and announcements over SSDP (Simple Service Discovery Protocol). Pretty cool, right?

What is GSSDP?

GSSDP is part of the larger open-source GUPnP framework. This means developers can create UPnP devices and control points easily. Along with GSSDP, there are other libraries like GUPnP-AV and GUPnP-DLNA that you can also find for download on Softpas.

How to Install GSSDP

You can install GSSDP separately by visiting GitHub or downloading the latest source package from Softpedia. Just save the archive in a spot on your computer, like your Home directory, and use an archive manager utility to extract it.

Navigating Your Terminal

Next up, open your terminal emulator application. You'll want to use the ‘cd’ command to go to where you extracted those files. For example: cd /home/softpedia/gssdp-0.14.11. Then run this command: ./configure && make. This sets everything up for compiling the program.

Installing System-Wide

If you want everyone on your GNU/Linux system to use it, run sudo make install as a privileged user or just make install as root (the system administrator). Easy peasy!

The Benefits of Using GSSDP

Once you've got GSSDP installed, you'll also get a handy tool called GSSDP Device Sniffer (gssdp-device-sniffer). This tool lets you pick which network interface to listen to along with the X display you want to use.

A Little More About GSSDP

This library software is written in C and Vala programming languages. You can install it on any operating systems based on Linux kernels. It's been tested successfully on both 32-bit and 64-bit platforms.
