[leaf-devel] Bering-uClibc and OpenSSH

[Martin Hejl]

Hi everybody,

This may really be a question for the uClibc list, but since I'm not subscribed on that one and since I'm guessing that the Bering-uClibc must have hit the problem I ran into, I'm asking here.

I'd like to migrate my Bering box (which is working flawlessly, thanks to the great work and also the great documentation by the "Bering Crew") to Bering-uClibc since that should make development and maintenance (keeping everything up to date) easier - or so I thought.

I got the Bering-uClibc CVS tree and tried "buildtool" first (a _great_ idea, once it works), but that failed because the iproute patch (iproute_20010824-8.diff.gz) had been updated in CVS (and buildtool didn't know about it). Probably something that's fixed easily, but I wanted to get started with Bering-uClibc rather than getting to know the inner workings of buildtool (something I will _surely_ look into, since that looks like it is the way to go - an environment where _everybody_ can build all the needed files, with the most up to date sources).

Anyway, since I didn't see an "openssh" package (did I miss it, or is there really no such thing?) and I don't really want to have a LEAF box without SSH on it (the box has no monitor attached, so without any means of remotely accessing it, maintenance gets difficult...) I decided that it can't be all that hard to build it oneself (especially since the uClibc homepage states that OpenSSH and OpenSSL build fine).

Starting with OpenSSL, ./Configure completed without a single warning, but then, "make" simply "hangs" at the first file it should compile something (meaning, it uses 100% processor time, and has done so for 30 minutes until I killed it, trying to compile "cryptlib.c").

So, I guess the short version of this is, has anybody managed to get OpenSSL and OpenSSH compiled for uClibc? If so, is there an lrp-Package for it (and if there's none yet but the files exist, please send them to me, I'll make an lrp-Package in return). Any pointers on what I might have done wrong (I've successfully compiled other - admittedly, more simple - programs using my uClibc install, so I'm guessing the install itself works) would be greatly appreciated.

Keep up the great work.


Martin
