[Buildroot] AX.25 Support in Buildroot/Busybox

[Buildroot] AX.25 Support in Buildroot/Busybox

[Jeff Renner]

Hi list,

Can someone tell me what is the best way to have all AX.25 support in
buildroot using ARM architecture?

I mean that software available at http://www.linux-ax25.org :
AX.25 Apps<http://www.linux-ax25.org/pub/ax25-apps/ax25-apps-0.0.8-rc2.tar.gz>
AX.25 Tools<http://www.linux-ax25.org/pub/ax25-tools/ax25-tools-0.0.10-rc2.tar.gz>
AX.25 Library<http://www.linux-ax25.org/pub/libax25/libax25-0.0.12-rc2.tar.gz>

(and net-tools support for ax.25?)

It would be very interesting if it can be automatically enabled, for
example, in busybox-menuconfig.

I tried build the AX.25 kernel support and everything works good, but now
I'm looking at those utilities
to acomplish some fun with AX.25.

Sory for my bad english.
Congratulations for your good work at buildroot.

Thank you very much,
Jeff

Creating Buildroot packages for the following three elements is
probably the right way to do this.

You can read the documentation, which details how to add packages. We
can also help by answering your questions about this.

busybox-menuconfig is for configuring *Busybox* itself, so definitely,
it wouldn't show up there. However, it would show up with all other
packages in "make menuconfig".

[Buildroot] AX.25 Support in Buildroot/Busybox

Hi Thomas,

Thank you for your reply.

You are talking about this:
http://buildroot.uclibc.org/buildroot.html#add_packages
right?

That process seems a little complicated to be done by a person who have
no experience.
But i will try it.

Thank you very much,
Jeff

[Buildroot] AX.25 Support in Buildroot/Busybox

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Hello,

Le Wed, 7 Mar 2012 13:01:41 +0000,

Yes, exactly.

Yes, it requires a little bit of experience with Makefile, build
systems and compilation under Linux systems in general. It is not very
complicated, but certainly requires a bit of initial experience.

Note that you are lucky: your three packages use the autotools, so you
can use the AUTOTARGETS infrastructure of Buildroot and it should be
relatively easy to get those packages working.

If you have issues, do not hesitate to ask the mailing-list, and we
will try to help you.

Best regards,

Thomas
