Hello James, - buildtool is linux only, if you don't know linux well, this is a good reason to learn it.
- I'm using suse 9 running under VMWare Workstation 4.5 under XPee (started with mandrake 9, but ran into problems): http://www.vmware.com/ - Installing suse 9 is much too easy. Though I don't remember what options I picked to install the gcc dev environment, but that was also easy. Satisfying Perl's Config::General dependencies, if I remember correctly, required me to install several packages on the fly: eg. where can perl find someneattool []? [CTRL+C], search 'someneattool' in YAST, find the package, install it, then run perl -MCPAN -e 'install Config::General' over again, then magically: where can perl find someneattool [/usr/sbin/someneattool]? [enter] - Keeping your existing configuration will probably not be trivial, at least the first time. One approach is to copy your configuration files to the staging directory before using buildpacket.pl. This is the easiest most consistent way that I know of. Changing the base config files at the source directories can be tricky with some packages, such as openswan. - The only kernel patch that I have applied is the Via PadLock patch. http://www.logix.cz/michal/devel/padlock/ After running ./buildtool.pl source kernel I then ran (in source/linux): patch -p0 < crypto-dev-padlock-2.4.30.diff And then ./buildtool.pl build kernel It worked without problems, although the hardware AES encryption isn't that much faster. I suspect the limiting factor is openswan. -cpu __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
