[LARTC] Don't know how to compile tc

[LARTC] Don't know how to compile tc

[L Rotger]

I am trying to build iproute2-2.4.7-20010824 from source on a 2.4.24 
kernel. I have played a bit with ADDLIB and LDLIBS variables but I 
always get errors so I suppose it's best if instead of playing I try to 
understand what does the following mean (from the README file):

ADDLIB should contain inet_* functions, if your libc contains
obsolete resolver library (<4.9.4) and you have no correct libresolv.
ADDLIB should also contain dnet_* functions if you don't have a
libdnet with support for them. If your libdnet does have support,
then comment out that line and uncomment the line to add -ldnet to
LDLIBS.

So I have some questions as, for example, what means "ADDLIB should 
contain inet_* functions"? and how do I know what is a correct libresolv 
or if my libdnet has dnet_* support?. I can program in C and C++ in 
Windows and love Linux but this paragraph goes over my head because I'm 
not used to the environment. Someone told me to compile this if I was a 
masochist so maybe others have encountered the same problem <g>

Thanks for your help.

I never had a problem compiling tc with 2.4 kernel sources.
Buy why do you want to recompile tc?

Well, I like being able to compile things from source. Besides, I'm 
installing this on a production server and would like to rest assured 
that the binary I use is good. Call me paranoid.

Could you send me the Makefile so I can compare with mine? Perhaps you 
have more software than it's in my workstation and you have libs or 
something I'm missing.

Also, what distro are you using and in case it is Debian, is it stable 
or development?

L Rotger,

you can update your libresolv updating your libc, it's may correct the 
problem.

I have libc.so.6 but that didn't solve the problem.

Dude, if you're using Debian just `apt-get source iproute` and `debuild -uc 
-us` and you're done.

As far as I remember me, I downloaded the source and compiled it.
Can you post the compile errors?

debian unstable.

Sure, here is the Makefile:
(source is iproute2-2.4.7-010824)
----------------------
KERNEL_INCLUDE=/usr/src/linux-2.4.24/include
LIBC_INCLUDE=/usr/include

DEFINES= -DRESOLVE_HOSTNAMES

#options if you have a bind>=4.9.4 libresolv (or, maybe, glibc)
LDLIBS=-lresolv
ADDLIB
#options if you compile with libc5, and without a bind>=4.9.4 libresolv
#LDLIBS#ADDLIB=inet_ntop.o inet_pton.o

#options for decnet
ADDLIB+=dnet_ntop.o dnet_pton.o

#options for ipx
ADDLIB+=ipx_ntop.o ipx_pton.o
----------------------

And the errors:

Sorry I can't check any further. htonl() and ntohl() are declared in

Someone pointed me towards this. I'll try it later. If anyone is 
interested I can send the entire email.
