Hi,
I have a question regarding how to compile the net-tools package. I've
built the development system using intels instructions(newest versions
used). I have a working kernel and ramdisk. I am now trying to get
networking up.
I've been using SRPMS and then copying the gz's.
Are the pppd patches included needed?
I've compiled the pppd package by manually changing
CC=/usr/local/arm/bin/arm-linux-gcc
The compile produced binaries and file reports them ARM executables.
For the net-tools I took a similar approach changing CC in the
Makefiles. I also applied a patch that came with the package. Also
included is a net-tools-1.48-config.h file which I dont know where it
goes.
The first time I tried to make the package I got
lib/libnet-tools.a: could not read symbols: Archive has no index: run
ranlib to add one
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [ifconfig] Error 1
I then ran ranlib on libnet-tools.a and ran make again. It failed again
so I touch all the c files and reran ranlib. Tried make and it failed
again.
when I ran nm -s over the .a I file I got this:
It all stderr
(partial content too big too list)
nm: activate.o: File format not recognized
etc. for all the object files
if i change the order around in the Makefile to hostname first It
compiles and then stops on ifconfig.
Let me know if I'm going about building these cross-compiled packages
wrong.
Thanks,
nizzo
