I have a really hard time porting my application natstat (http://freshmeat.net/projects/natstat)

I've read some tutorials but I seem to get stuck at the makefile :/
get "out of virtual memory" amongst many errors.
Anyone feels like helping me ? help would be most appreciated :)

Which kind of platform do you use to cross-compile packages ? I  know that on my MacOSx machine, even with 1GB mem, you always get this error, check you have the latest make version (I think it is stille v3.80).

bash-3.00$ make --version
GNU Make 3.80

Slackware , i386
kernel 2.6.12.4
1 gb ram

I really don't think I should get that.
I believe my makefile is just one screwed puppy :/ that's why I desperately need the help :)

But if that IS the problem (low ram) what the heck can I do ? anyone out there with more ram than me, willing to give it a shot ? :)

Oh, another slackware user with make 3.80 *g*. I had the same problem - there is a bug in gnu make that this triggered if a make variable is more than 200 characters long (at least google told me so); the newest official make version (3.80) still has this bug, so take a look at ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/make/ .

Yeah that seemed to work thanks alot :)

I'm still having some problems though.
I'm more or less following the first HOWTO (hello world) in the howtos section.
I can not seem to find where to change what the actual package name should be called.
as it is now it comes out with the name
hello-0.0.11_1*****
I grepped for hello but can not seem to find any references to it.. any suggestions ?

and when I run the executable on the router I get:

root@OpenWrt:/bin# natstat
/usr/bin/natstat: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")
