I'm trying to compile libnet using nico's patch and archive, and I get the following error, how can I remedy ?

./include/libnet.h:87:2: #error "byte order has not been specified, you'll"

Thanks

Florian,

patches are not all, if you're still using my patches, you have to look at ipkg/rules to see how configure and make are invoked.

    rm -rf config.cache
    $(TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS) 
    CFLAGS="$(TARGET_CFLAGS)" 
    ac_libnet_have_pf_packet=yes 
    ac_cv_lbl_unaligned_fail=no 
    ac_cv_libnet_endianess=lil 
    ./configure 
      --target=$(GNU_TARGET_NAME) 
      --host=$(GNU_TARGET_NAME) 
      --build=$(GNU_HOST_NAME) 
      --prefix=/usr 
      --exec-prefix=/usr 
      --bindir=/usr/bin 
      --datadir=/usr/share 
      --includedir=/usr/include 
      --infodir=/usr/share/info 
      --libdir=/usr/lib 
      --libexecdir=/usr/lib/locate 
      --localstatedir=/var/lib 
      --mandir=/usr/share/man 
      --sbindir=/usr/sbin 
      --sysconfdir=/etc 
      $(DISABLE_NLS) 
      --enable-shared 
      --enable-static
      --with-pf_packet=yes 

    touch config.guess
    touch config.sub

Well, I still get the same error, even if endianess seems to be specified. A second configure process is running after the first, and after saying that automake 1.8 is missing. Any ideas ?

Hi Nico !

I have finally solved my compiling problem, the problem was that after having successfully configured the libnet whith the correct endianness and options, the script was running a second configure process I don't know why, but this second one was not able to use the ac_cv variables used into the first one.

So after having let this configure script execute itself, it was necessary to do a make libnet-clean and then remove the .configured file, and finally type make libnet to get it compile cleanly !

Hi,

I have received the following error while compiling 1.1.2.1 version of libnet. I did modify the makefile with what you have posted above. I took the original template as the libnet package that is available by default. Any help would be great.

thanks
