hi,

howto compile for the FONERA Box Midnight Commander + glib 1.2 or any other ???

sources:
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/ … 6.1.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.2/glib-1.2.10.tar.gz
http://download.fon.com/firmware/fonera … ra.tar.bz2

my hostsystem is debian 3.1 and the fonera source is allready compiled.

BusyBox v1.1.3 (2006.09.11-19:54+0000) Built-in shell (ash)
Enter 'help' for a list of built-in commands.

any step-by-step guide to compile some apps aviable?

thanks in advance

Sorry, no support here for the Fonera firmware here.

We can help if you flash a Kamikaze Atheros [2.6] image to your fonera. Then it's easy to cross-compile programs using the build-system or the SDK.

different are only the kernel-version...
i dont want pre-compiled apps..
the way to compile apps it's the same for fonera build (based on openwrt)...

Well, I've flashed the fonera with the kamikaze atheros 2.6 image, and that works fine. I've also downloaded the SDK for the atheros, and compiled some software for it (TinyFugue 5). The only problem I get is that for some reason, the file does not run on the fonera... I always get the same message:

I guess this means that it's compiled wrongly for some reason, but I can't figure out why it's compiled wrongly....

The SDK I used was: OpenWrt-SDK-Linux-i686-1.tar.bz2 with the mipsel-linux-uclibc-gcc compiler...

I needed to edit the default makefile a bit because it runs some commands during compilation to create some additional files. The files needed to be executed during compilation I had compiled using gcc, so they'd run on my linux-machine, but the rest were done using mipsel-linux-uclibc-gcc.

Edit: I think I found the problem.....also found the OpenWrt-SDK-atheros-2.6-for-Linux-i686 SDK.....trying.

Edit 2: Ok, still doesn't work, same error message...

Anyone willing to explain how to cross-compile on an intel machine for an atheros machine?

http://nbd.name/openwrt.html

Use the below sdk.

http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/ … 86.tar.bz2

Thanks, will keep trying

Well, finally I figured out how to compile a program for openwrt.......

Steps:
- Download the SDK (http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/ … 86.tar.bz2)
- Download the software you want to compile for the Atheros
- Extract the SDK
- export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/where/the/sdk/is/staging_dir_mips/bin/:/path/to/where/the/sdk/is/staging_dir_mips
- configure the software you want to compile (./configure --host=mipsel-linux or ./configure --host=mipsel-linux-uclibc)
- check for possible executing of programs on the local machine by either checking the makefile or by using make.
   - if any are found, let the executed programs be compiled with gcc, leave the rest unmodified.
- make sure to compile the programs with the -static gcc parameter (yeah, it becomes bigger then)
- make
- use mipsel-linux-strip or mipsel-linux-uclibc-strip on the resulting executable (depending on which build-platform you used)
- scp the file to your Atheros
- Run it

Not the easiest way to do it, but it beats the method written down above (http://nbd.name/openwrt.html) because I was totally lost when trying that.

- Download the SDK (http://downloads.openwrt.org/snapshots/ … 86.tar.bz2)

Seems this .tar.bz2 is gziped after b2ziped but no named.

to uncompress:
mv OpenWrt-SDK-atheros-2.6-for-Linux-i686.tar.bz2 OpenWrt-SDK-atheros-2.6-for-Linux-i686.tar.bz2.gz
gunzip OpenWrt-SDK-atheros-2.6-for-Linux-i686.tar.bz2.gz
tar -xjf OpenWrt-SDK-atheros-2.6-for-Linux-i686.tar.bz2

hi
would someone tell me how to install midniht commander on OpenWrt on Asus 500gPremium on OpenWrt Kamikaze 7.09

a have pendrive and download source of mc from page "ibillo"
then a go to this folder a write ./configure and a have a bad warning

checking for a BSD-compatible install... config/install-sh -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... no
checking for mawk... no

checking for awk... awk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... no
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
checking build system type... config/config.guess: unable to guess system type
