I’ve fixed the issue by installing a missing package: sudo apt-get install libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev

Now I’m able to build the project, but when I start it, I’ve have the following warnings: ~/HAP-NodeJS $ node BridgedCore.js *** WARNING *** The program ‘node’ uses the Apple Bonjour compatibility layer of Avahi. *** WARNING *** Please fix your application to use the native API of Avahi! *** WARNING *** For more information see http://0pointer.de/avahi-compat?s=libdns_sd&e=node *** WARNING *** The program ‘node’ called ‘DNSServiceRegister()’ which is not supported (or only supported partially) in the Apple Bonjour compatibility layer of Avahi. *** WARNING *** Please fix your application to use the native API of Avahi! *** WARNING *** For more information see http://0pointer.de/avahi-compat?s=libdns_sd&e=node&f=DNSServiceRegister HAP-NodeJS starting… TCP server accepting connection on port: 51826 HAP Server is listening

@dariusz as of this spring, the mdns dependancy was removed from hap-nodejs. So on a recent install this would have no impact.
