Hi KP,
Yup I've just started going over what information I can find, my first
question (I know this is going to sound soo lame) but you say Linux
workstation, is there any specific one, do I HAVE to use debian? and if so
can I use the latest version or do I have to track down slink?
I do know my way around linux and have no issues compiling build other apps
on linux, so far the docco seems straight forward although it reads as there
is a fair bit of assumed knowledge. (just missing the assumed stuff of grab
"X" version of linux and install, etc).
I'll have a play and see how I go :)
Cheers

Hi Eric,
Thanks for that, but (now don't laugh at me) that's the problem I have is
not even knowing where to begin with "compiling" it. I know my way around
a
leaf machine with my eyes shut, installing modules,setting up just about
anything, I've rolled out around 8 leaf box's on various networks, but
for
the life of me learning to setup a box to compile/build packages has me
lost
:(
I know there is documentation on it, but because I'm not a fluent *nix
user
I'm lost with it...
Adam;
You need a Linux workstation; then you have to checkout buildtool from
cvs,
running "buildtool build buildenv" and patience . That way you get a
complete
setup to compile and build packages for Bering-uClibc or just to modify
the
current setups (like ulogd).
I agree the buildtool* files, something you can think about as meta-files
to
control the process of compiling and packaging, aren't easy to read and
understand for non-programmers - but I've made the experience, once you
got
it, it is more or less just cut'n'paste to create new setups for lrp.
For your purpose getting a working buildtool environment and following
Eric's
hint's below should allow you to build an ulogd fitting your needs...
(short recipe:
buildtool.pl build ulogd
change buildtool.mk for ulogd as noted by Eric
buildtool.pl buildclean ulogd
buildtool.pl build ulogd
fakeroot
buildpackage.pl --package=ulogd
scp to your route the new ulogd.lrp)
Don't hesitate to ask, if you're running into pb's - it will only help to
improve common knowledge (and if necessary) the documentation.
