Need help to compile esniper

[samoht]

Hi all,

I want to use esniper (http://esniper.sourceforge.net/) on my WL500gx as an Ebay bidding maschine. I compiled it on my Suse 9.3 Linux and it work quite well.

When I try to compile it for my WL500gx on the crosscomplier I receive following error messages:


shared@shuttle:~/slug/optware> make esniper
rm -f /home/shared/slug/optware/builds/esniper/.built
make -C /home/shared/slug/optware/builds/esniper

make[1]: *** [esniper] Fehler 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/shared/slug/optware/builds/esniper'
make: *** [/home/shared/slug/optware/builds/esniper/.built] Fehler 2


Openssl and libcurl and libidn is installed on my computer.

What could be the reason for the error??

My esniper makefile is in the next posting.

It would be nice if some could post the ready compiled binary. Esniper is a very useful tool for Ebayers! Thank you.

Have a nice weekend
Thomas

You've missed curl-config. It is now standard package. Just run ipkg update && ipkg install esniper

See http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/optware/changeset/4443 for details.

Thank you oleo. It works great!

Running esniper gives "item not found error" message. I guess it is because the code is not updated yet.
Please someone with the knowledge compile it for the WL500gP?
Thank you in advance.

[rwhitby]

esniper has been updated - it should autobuild and hit the feed within 24 hours.

[Oyabun]

Thank you.
Installed, runs fine.

Well, I have compiled the new ipkg for esniper-2-21-0. And it looks like it works. Unfortunately I don't know how to put the new esniper ipkg in the ipkg repository. Erm...Also this means I now have less snipers to contend with...:)

You might like to compile it yourself. esniper is easy to compile.
1. Just setup a vmware ubutu box and pull the target=oleg development enviroment mentioned in one of the guides in this section.
2. Tip: Make sure you make all the optware libraries that you can - if the target=oleg enviroment is not compiling its because your missing 'essential tools' like bison, flex etc.. which you have to sudo
3. A simple change to the esniper.mk file to the correct version and make esniper.ipkg and then install the ipkg
