Contributors needed for wl500g packages

wl500g software packages are now growing through the unslung build system provided by the nslu2-linux community (cvs, build machine, hosting and many help)
I'm experiencing the build system for a few weeks and found it's now time for a "help wanted" call ;)

So, I would like to know if any of you would be interested in contributing wl500g (and maybe so nslu2) packages using the unslung build system. That means, instead of asking for 'foo' or 'bar' packages at the wish list you would like to have on your favorite Asus toy, make 'em ! ;)

I can share my personnal knowledge on the build system and would be happy to help anyone wanting to contribute on some packages.

No developper skill is really needed to create packages. At the beginning, you should just know a few linux command (like vi, cp, rm, mv, tar, gzip), and for the rest, the 'man' and Google are good places to look at.

I may have forgotten to say Linux is mandatory to test your package. As far as I'm concerned, my laptop is my everyday job's laptop running XP.... and running Colinux on top of it (XP service). Thus, I have either XP for work and Colinux for unslung running at the same time on the same machine.

Question is now open : Are there any volunteers ?

Well follow up the question with a quick little howto get started, and I think it would be even more tempting for people to try it out. No need to make it too detailed, just some pointers. Like what is needed (including links), and the most basic commands to get started...

If this is already on the forum, you should link to it..

I'll happily give a hand...

Hi

I'll be happy to give a hand in converting UNSLUNG packages to the WL500 or even creating new packages.

But....

I will need some help in getting started.

I do know linux, and I do run linux, but some "getting started" instructions might be nice !

You are both right macsat and barsju.

Here are a few more informations (some are deducted) :
The unslung build system is a set of makefiles, tools and directories, hosted at sourceforge, and used by the nslu2-linux.org developpers to improve the Linksys nslu2 (petname : slug) device : developping firmware and porting GPL softwares to it the industrialized way.

Recently, nslu2-linux.org ppl and Oleg (perhaps others) discussed together and in a joint effort, updated the original nslu2-targetted unslung build system to support our favorites toys from Asus : update of the main Makefile, make use of Oleg's provided toolchain for building Asus fw and so on.

That means that we (Asus fan guys) have now access to a powerfull build system with which we can create our packages (.ipk) and make them available for both communities (nslu2 and asus).

Now, in brief, how the unslung build system works :
1. You need, as I said previously, to have access to a x86 linux box (Colinux Debian is very convenient for me) with both original toolchain from Asus GPL tarball and last Oleg's toolchain installed.
2. Once everything is correcly installed (Asus and Oleg's toolchain sit in /opt/brcm). The next step is to get your own copy of the unslung build system on your linux using cvs checkout. Create a directory on your linux box, say /home/slug and checkout the cvs tree by running
  
  Code:
  
  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/nslu co unslung
  
  This will create a copy of the build system on your box, under /home/slug/unslung
3. Under /home/slug/unslung, you will find a bunch of directories plus a Makefile. Here is the usage of them :
  - CVS : use for CVS synchronisation with sourceforge repository. Not directly related to the build system
  - builds : where package are compiled/build/created
  - downloads : where original source files needed by packages are stored after being fetched from the Internet
  - make : the main directory for all the packages makefile. Files in this directory are included in the top Makefile making it know each of the existing package
  - packages : not use on your developper machine. Used on the official build system which create final package.
  - staging: use to compile depending packages when the one you are building have dependencies
  - toolchain : some tools
  - sources: if your package / makefile needs some patches or init script, you can place them here, in a subdirectory named sources/<packagename>
  - Makefile : the main Makefile where known packages are linked, where you can select your target device (nslu2 or wl500g). Usually no need to edit it very often
Creating a new package is then as simple as :
1. copying the provided make/template.mk to make/<your_package_name>.mk
2. Edit this one to fit your package
3. test it builds fine by running make <packagename>
4. test your package creates fine by running make <packagename>-ipk
5. Send me your .mk and associated sources/<packagename>/stuff for checkin in the cvs repository or create your own sourceforge id and ask rwhitby for write access to the cvs
6. Tell me when files have been checked in so I can launch a build on the official build machine which will then update wl500g packages feed
You will have understood that the most tricky part is editing you <packagename>.mk to draw the download/configure/build story of your package.
I'm still not very powerfull in that but looking at the existant makefile is a great help for tips and trick.

Now, some usefull link :
- Add A Package To Unslung :more detailed explanation on how to write your package
- Packaging Best Practices : best practices and rules for package creation
- irc.freenode.net / channel #nslu2-linux : IRC channel of nslu2-linux developpers where you can request support for package creation
- wl500 packages feeds : where wl500 packages are stored after having been built on the official build machine.
And some tips (to be grown) :
- Use the unslung build system on your linux with an unprivileged account. Creating and building a package should not require root rights. Building with a unprivilege account will show you when a software try to use root account, so you can patch it not to do so.
- often run a 'cvs update -dP' to maintain your cvs tree up to date. A lot of developpers are using the sourceforge cvs so freshing your source tree is a good idea
- for inspiration, take a look at make/nylon.mk which is my first and simple package
- for a deep test of your <packagename>.mk, run 'make distclean directories ipkg-utils <packagename>'. Doing so will ensure that your package build fine without any forgotten dependency. 'make distclean' clean the entire unslung build system by deleting directories, 'make directories' will recreate directories listed at the beginning and make ipkg-utils will install ipkg stuff needed for ipkg creation of your package.
I hope this is pretty clear. Don't hesitate to ask for help.

See you soon on #nslu2-linux ;)

quagga + some questions

Thanks for this great build tool guys. I have already quite a few packages installed.
I have myself built quagga (the routing suite) using the build system. How should I go about releasing it? I have only built it for the wl-500g and am using it with ospf. Works great.
Any suggestions on how to release this to the public? I can make it available on my own web-server if needed.

I am having a few issues with the released packages:
1) I would like to use man, but that depends on groff. Groff does however depend on libstdc++, and that is not available? The build system does not build it but tries to copy it from somewhere in the toolchain, but that fails. I have not yet had enough time to investigate this in more detail, any suggestion?

2) which does not work as it does not seem to be able to get the path from the environment. Did somebody solve this already, or should I debug myself?

regards, Louis

Well, you can either send me your .mk plus patches. I will commit your stuff to the CVS and build the official release or you can send your sf.net id to rwhitby who will give you write access to the cvs. Tell me when you're done commiting your work and I will buil the official release.

nslu2 official feed is considered as a safe packages place. I invite you to publish your work in the sf CVS where the package managers can build the official ipk release of your package.

the libstdc++ package copy the libraries from the nslu2 toolchain. We don't have such library in the uclibc toolchain, that's why libstdc++ package were not released and depending packages not released too (mysql, groff, etc...)

Jean-Fabrice

Please see PM for your offer to help getting quagga released.

Ok, thanks for the answer about lbstdc++ . I'll see whether I even get the time to work on porting lisbstdc++ properly then....

And about which: Which uses getenv to fetch the PATH shell variable, and that appears not to work. I did some testing and found that getenv("CWD") does not work either. It appears that getenv uclibc is broken

kind regards, Louis

newbie question?

Hi,

I've followed Jean-Fabrice's howto and want to build some packages of my own. I've created a pound.mk file in the "make" directory of unslung.
When I try to make, using "make pound", from the unslung directory, I get "make: *** No rule to make target `pound'. Stop.".
Am I missing something ?

thanx in advance,

Niels

Hi,

could you please post your pound.mk here ?

Hello Jean-Fabrice,

thanx for responding so quickly.
I found out part of the problem myself already: As het program is named Pound(-x.y.tgz), I replaced all the <foo>'s with Pound in stead of pound, however the filename was still pound.mk, but I missed that one completely last night.
Making starts now and downloading goes well, and than a series of warnings etc. terminate the make proces. I'll check it out myself first before bothering you guys with it.
By the way, I have added pound.mk to my previous post. The config is not yet complient with the "PackagingBestPractices"..

regards,

Niels

22.20: Ok gotten a lot further, but stuck now :(

After adding opensll dep's, a lot of problem went away :)

however now I get :
checking for strtol... yes
checking for X509_STORE_set_flags... yes
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating config.h
sed -i -e 's|^sys_lib_search_path_spec=.*|sys_lib_search_pat h_spec="/opt/brcm/hndtools-mipsel-uclibc/lib /home/niels/unslung/staging/opt/lib"|' -e 's|^sys_lib_dlsearch_path_spec=.*|sys_lib_dlsearch _path_spec=""|' /home/niels/unslung/builds/Pound/libtool
sed: can't read /home/niels/unslung/builds/Pound/libtool: No such file or directory
make: *** [/home/niels/unslung/builds/Pound/.configured] Error 2

At first I tough I'll just add libtool to the dep's, and now even though libtool ans openssl compile fine, the above error occures. All include paths in the Makefile seem ok, so whats going wrong?

I've include an modified Pound.mk file below

a working one ;)

Hi,
Here is a pound.mk which seems to work.
What I change is :
- disable libtool dependency as I do not know why you need it
- create a small patch for Makefile.in (see it at then end this post) since default generated Makefile wants to build objects using host cc.
- discard the use of the provided "install" macro in the Makefile since it does not support "prefix" properly

This pound builds correctly. Let me know if it is correct for you.

Code:

Thanx JF,

the Makefile.in.patch was not on my shortlist of solutions I would have tought of :)
I'll do a good test this weekend and will then send you the .mk files for addiotion to the official CVS.

regards,
Niels
