Hi, This is probably a little bit off topics as I am not using Debian packages except with Raspbian for my numerous RaspbBerry Pis.
Following the mkiss discussion I decided to build all AX.25 library, apps and tools from official ax25 repository. It was a little bit tricky to find how to achieve for instructions are dispersed on three different places. I found how to clone sources using git here : (http://www.linux-ax25.org/wiki/GIT) The sources are located here http://git.linux-ax25.org/cgit/ And instructions for compilation can be found here : http://www.linux-ax25.org/wiki/Compilation During autoreconf process there was a few warnings : ibtoolize: putting auxiliary files in '.'. libtoolize: copying file './ltmain.sh' libtoolize: Consider adding 'AC_CONFIG_MACRO_DIRS([m4])' to configure.ac, libtoolize: and rerunning libtoolize and aclocal. libtoolize: Consider adding '-I m4' to ACLOCAL_AMFLAGS in Makefile.am. At the end everything had been installed, but I would have prefered AX.25 library and applications not to be mixed with Linux system ones. This could be avoided by adding "local" by default into boostrap example for configure prefix : ./configure --prefix=/usr/local - Putting AX.25 libraries and binaries into local subdirectories make actually things much easier when one is looking for them specifically ! Now let me add some remarks . In each package, INSTALL file says to build the package one needs to run ./configure However this does not work, without runing autoconfig first. INSTALL should include a boostrap example or explain how to run it. Then a "normal" Linux user, would run install.sh, a modified version of the general purpose boostrap invoking autoreconf, configure, make and make install. I rebuilt FPAC/ROSE and FBB applications I am usually experimenting with. All seem to run without issue despite ax25ipd application still does not include dynamic addressing a very convenient add we appreciate very much. It ihas been in ax25ipd on unofficial ve7fet's ax25 repository for years...https://github.com/ve7fet/linuxax25 73 de Bernard, f6bvp -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-hams" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
