Hi,

I am trying to use imapfilter on a brmc2.4 platform.
Fortunately, a 2.0 packet is already provided, unfortunately this 2 year old
version has some bug (exspecalie with cert handling) which kill the daemon once a day
and let it hang at 100% CPU usage.
So talked to the developer of imapfilter who told me this with a lot of other stuff is
fixed in the 2.2 version. And now I, a total noob, somehow has to figure out how to cross compile the
source to a brcm2.4 combatible binary. I tried to follow some of the howtos (like the one with the SDK for whiterussian) but I really do not understand a single word.

Anyone out there who would lend me a hand?
with best regards

PS: I am sorry for my bad english but I am really missing the practise here.

Hi.

1) Download the SDK at http://downloads.openwrt.org/kamikaze/8 … 86.tar.bz2
2) Unpack it and cd to the "OpenWrt-SDK-brcm-2.4-for-Linux-i686" directory
3) Checkout the imapfilter makefile: svn co svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/packages/mail/imapfilter package/
4) Edit the Makefile in package/imapfilter/, change PKG_VERSION to 2.2 and md5sum to the one of the v2.2 tgz on the imapfilter download page
5) Run make package/imapfilter/{clean,compile} V=99

Another thing, if 5) fails because it cannot apply the patch, just remove it from package/imapfilter/patches/ and repeat the "make" command

Hi,
Step 1-4 work fine, but step 5 doesn't work.
I tried removing the patches, but it still doesn't work.
It says:
grep: package/Makefile:$(eval: No such file or Directory)
grep: $(call: No such file or directory
grep: BuildPackage,imapfilter))/Makefile: No such file or directory
/home/username/OpenWRT-SDK-brcm-2.4-for-Linux-i686/tmp/info/.files-packageinfo.mk:1: *** target pattern contains no '%'. Stop
make[1]: *** [prepare-tmpinfo] Error 2
make: *** [package/imapfilter/clean] Fehler 2

So I guess, some files are missing? And due to that he does not know which platform he is supposed to cross compile to?

EDIT:
Tried to compile the package from svn without any alterations, but still fails with the same error.

Do you use some non standard shell? If yes, try run the make command in a bash session.

I prefer the build-system. The following works for me:

svn checkout svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk/ brcm-2.4/
cd brcm-2.4/
./scripts/feeds update packages luci
./scripts/feeds install -a -p luci
./scripts/feeds install -d m imapfilter
make defconfig
make

Updating the imapfilter package. Change the following lines in feeds/packages/mail/imapfilter/Makefile

Download the new tarball and refresh the patch with

make package/imapfilter/{clean,download} V=99
make package/imapfilter/{clean,refresh} V=99

Build the new package and regenerate the package index

And you have imapfilter updated to version 2.2.2.

Once you have tested your new package on the router you should create a diff and submit a ticket attached with it.

@jow
I am using ARCH Linux and its default shell.
Maybe this is the problem?

@Dogge
It seems to have worked.
I have now a ipk package but it contains only one single file (which contains for some reason my username and some over stuff.)
Is this only the binary and I have to fix the rest myself (that would not be a problem, but I do not get that is happening right now)?
And I also cant install the package with opkg,
opkg install ./imapfilter_2.2.2-1.brcm.2-4.ipk only returns imapfilter 2.0.10 is up to date

Below in this post you'll find the contents of my updated imapfilter package. Try with the build-system instead of the SDK.

Hi,
as I said, my imapfilter_2.2.2-1_brcm-2.4.ipk only has one file.
if you open it with Notepad, you will see ./debian-binary and at some points my username.

If I execute du -ah build_dir/target-mipsel_uClibc-0.9.30.1/imapfilter-2.2.2/ipkg-brcm-2.4/
I have the same list as you posted. The size of the ipk files is around 50kb, which would be the noraml size of this package. Maybe I am just to stupid to install the package from a local source? opkg always tries to get the imapfile from the openwrt database instead of my local imapfile

[EDIT]
Or maybe I just got the wrong location for the produced ipk?

Setup a local web or FTP server, put your package repo in there and point /etc/opkg.conf to it. Then it'll use your own local package repo.

okay, as I said, I am quiet a noob.
Which of my folders is my repo folder?
After looking into the packets.index file on the download.openwrt.org server I figured that it should be "feeds" but
my package.index in "feeds" has still the 2.0.10 version inside. Did I make something wrong or do I have the Wrong directory.

[EDIT]

Okay, found it (I guess). bin/package it is. (And it also has the 2.2.2 Version inside)
Copied it over to my ftp server, removed all other sources from opkg.conf, made an
opkg update
(checked my /var/opkg-lists/snapshots and it has only the stuff from my ftp inside)
opkg install imapfilter -> Package imapfilter (2.0.10-1) installed in root is up to date.
That am I doing wrong?

[EDIT2]

Got it to work!
The Problem was: On brcm-2.4, the "platform" is set to "mipsel" while the build system for brcm-2.4 the platform is set to "brcm-2.4". After I changed it to "mipsel" I could easyly install it and it works like a charm.
I will try to creat a diff and post it after some testing.
With best regards
