cross compiling with the toolchain

I know the last post is quite long ago, but i hope someone can remember the discussed problem.

I have compiled the ximeta binary (version 1.1-20) in order to use them in combination with an avm fritzbox. I succeeded in compiling, loading modules, starting ndasadmin and registering my device, as PB_LIST did. I get an slot number, but enabling with these slot number fails. The router (fritzbox) stops working and reboot after one or two minutes of inactivity. I think it's the same behaviour PB_LIST has described some in his last post.
I want to know, if anybody has managed to enable an NDAS-drive successful on an router ?
I would be grateful for any support, you can give me.

I am using the cross-compile environment from nslu2-linux.org. The toolchain built fine and most packages do so as well however libmemcache fails to do so at all.

It gets up to a certain point then fails complaining about either libtool or thinking the parameters given are commands.

My OS is Ubuntu 8.10 beta. It is using libtool version 2.2.4. Any ideas?

Here is the error code. I can't seem to find a fix for this.

Code:

usually it helps if an older version of tool is installed.

Yea. I figured that out after a while. Unfortunately Ubuntu 8.10 (intrepid) doesn't have an appropriate version in the repository. I had to downgrade to 8.04 to make it all work. I'm "borrowing" some intrepid packages though. I have compiled and created new lighttpd 1.4.20 packages that include all current features. I also did a 1.5 pre-release package. The 1.5.x branch may have a new dependency on glib but I placed it under suggest until I know it will be needed for runtime. The package is marked as experimental but does compile cleanly.

Hi,

I found this link about the problem: http://moc.daper.net/node/352
Someone mentions that in the generated file /opt/optware/oleg/builds/libmemcache/libtool the $echo variable is not set. When the error occurs you can add a line echo='echo' just after the line ECHO='echo'. If you do a make again libmemcache will compile.

With make lighttpd you will now get another error...
It cannot find the curses/termcap library when the mysql library is compiled.

Pim.

Well the odd thing was that libmemcache compiled fine for the host but not for the target as I tested that theory. It is an oddity and looks like a small incompatibility with something in libtool 2.x and the environment. I had downgraded to 8.04 (in a VM now) and it compiles fine since I can use libtool 1.5 there.

Is there a way of checking if binary is OK, before risking the upload?

As oleo explained, diff won't do:

Oleg always post-include nmap binary in its firmwares.
So you can never expect the same binary. Even if nmap would not be included, binaries would not be the same becaus of possible difference in direcory tree traversing during LZMA compression.

---

Also there are several binaries in http://oleg.wl500g.info/1.9.2.7-10/, for each model a different one (diff reveals they ARE different).
How can you change for which target you are compiling. Either that's not written in the guides or I missed it.

Thanx for any help.

Hallo,

I try to crosscompile packages for Wl50gpv2 but did not make it up to now. Using the oleg-target toolchain has no success. Is there a special toolchain for the v2?

Best regards

Hi!

I want to build and use TntNet tools for the oleg's firmware.

Is this possible or I need to build a whole firmware from scratch. I like the olegs firmware and I don't want to switch but if I cant, I cant...

Can someone guide me with some links or ideas so I can start? All my searches goes in wrong directions.

Here is the proof that the packages are maintained for the openwrt so I think I can build them.

Are there other repository for olegs where I can search for the respective application?
