The old how to guides work just fine. All that needs to be fixed is the version of libtool for Ubuntu 8.10. I'm inclined not to muddy the waters. This guide of Pauls' works for Ubuntu 8.10
Here's the steps for OWFS. Basic ubuntu install and added lots of fluff. Then for OWFS --- sudo apt-get install cvs sudo apt-get install autoconf sudo apt-get install automake sudo apt-get install libtool # For filesystem (FUSE) sudo apt-get install libfuse-dev # For USB support sudo apt-get install libusb-dev sudo apt-get install libusb++-dev # For languages sudo apt-get install swig sudo apt-get install php5 sudo apt-get install php5-dev sudo apt-get install python-dev sudo apt-get install libperl-dev sudo apt-get install tcl-dev cvs -d:pserver:anonym...@owfs.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/owfs login # (no password) cvs -d:pserver:anonym...@owfs.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/owfs co owfs cd owfs ./bootstrap ./configure make sudo make install Paul Alfille wrote: > Daniel Klaussen has been working on an Ubuntu guide for OWFS (along > with SAMBA hints) at: > > http://sites.google.com/a/klaussen.com/owfs/ > > He would like feedback. > > On Mon, Feb 16, 2009 at 5:25 PM, William Brown <mahi...@earthlink.net > <mailto:mahi...@earthlink.net>> wrote: > > Glad I could help. > > > Matthias Urlichs wrote: > > Hi, > > > > William Brown: > > > >> Eureka, problem solved.
