According to wikipedia, Avahi is a free zero-configuration networking (zeroconf) implementation, including a system for multicast DNS/DNS-SD service discovery.

1. build dependent libs, refer to avahi download page

• gettext

    brew link --force gettext
    brew unlink gettext

• intltool
• glib need link
• libdaemon

2. disable gui and python, refer to linux from scratch and askubuntu

./configure --disable-qt3 --disable-qt4       \
            --disable-gtk --disable-gtk3      \
            --disable-python                  \
            --disable-mono --disable-monodoc  \
            --enable-core-docs                \
            --disable-dbus                    \ 
            --prefix=/Users/will/Downloads/avahi-0.6.31/build      \
            --sysconfdir=/Users/will/Downloads/avahi-0.6.31/etc    \
            --localstatedir=/Users/will/Downloads/avahi-0.6.31/var \

3. make, which I got a error

socket.c:609:27: error: use of undeclared identifier 'IPV6_PKTINFO'
        cmsg->cmsg_type = IPV6_PKTINFO;
socket.c:869:22: error: use of undeclared identifier 'IPV6_HOPLIMIT'
                case IPV6_HOPLIMIT:
socket.c:878:22: error: use of undeclared identifier 'IPV6_PKTINFO'
                case IPV6_PKTINFO: {

for IPV6_PKTINFO please refer to apple opensource .h file
