Overview

This appendix describes how to compile Netatalk from source for specific operating systems. Before starting, please read through the Installation chapter first. You need to have a copy of Netatalk's source code before proceeding.

Please note that these guides are automatically generated, and may not be optimized for your system. Also, the steps for launching Netatalk are incomplete for some OSes, because of technical constraints.
