uPnP device undefined

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. Following the installation page until I encountered the error upon running make command:

Ubuntu 14.04 is very old and probably does not have a new enough upnp library. You could compile a new libupnp on your system, or simply go back in time slightly for gmrender-resurrect that still calls the older version of the function.

If you have a checkout of gmrender-resurrect, just tell git in the directory to switch to that slightly older version:

git checkout 26d8f7edf5336bc30f7334c6ad459bf7f4f90ff2

Or if you prefer the zip file, get this version from https://github.com/hzeller/gmrender-resurrect/archive/26d8f7edf5336bc30f7334c6ad459bf7f4f90ff2.zip

@hzeller thank you, I was able to install and keep the renderer running and also discoverable. I cannot upgrade the Ubuntu version because it was on an old laptop with limited specs so the previous version and the zip file is very much appreciated!
