error: dns_sd.h: No such file or directory

Question

I'm trying to build a demo project using Bonjour, following this tutorial, but i'm getting this error:

error: dns_sd.h: No such file or directory

It happens on this line:

#include <dns_sd.h>

Where do I get that header file?

Does this help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4341179/adding-bonjour-dns-sd-h-library-to-qt-in-windows ? — vahancho, Oct 25 '13 at 08:43
They don't mention where they got the header and libs from, though. — sashoalm, Oct 25 '13 at 08:48
Does this help ? sudo aptitude install libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev — sexyslippers69, Apr 23 '14 at 15:05

I just had this error on Ubuntu while trying to compile a project. This helped:

sudo apt-get install libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev
