IIRC someone (you?) mentioned a > peculiarity of the djbdns build that may make it hard to include in OE. I've not used dnsmasq. Build complications with djbdns revolve mostly around his approach to a makefile. It assumes it's being compiled on the destination machine directly, and builds test programs and scripts on the fly. I've no doubt someone could distill it to a briefer makefile that would successfully build dnscache for the FR, but I suspect a proper bitbake recipe would prove more challenging, and really ought to encompass the whole package, not just one component. I wrote a script to automate the build. It's fairly ugly, builds djbdns plus daemontools plus tcpserver. Of that all, only one component of djbdns is of immediate interest to me, dnscache, so the rest is superfluous. (I started with a full proper djbdns installation on my FR and trimmed it back step by step - for purposes as a local cache on a handheld device I decided that TCP support [rarely used in such a situation] and the daemontools service management weren't vital) j _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
