Installing development tools and getting sources on a Debian machine:

apt-get install cvs autoconf automake libtool libncurses-dev g++
cvs -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.linux-ax25.org:/home/ax25-cvs login         <- password: cvs
cvs -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.linux-ax25.org:/home/ax25-cvs co ax25-tools
cvs -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.linux-ax25.org:/home/ax25-cvs co ax25-apps
cvs -d :pserver:cvs@cvs.linux-ax25.org:/home/ax25-cvs co libax25

Setting the environment:

export PATH=/home/jann/openwrt/trunk/staging_dir/toolchain-mipsel_gcc3.4.6/bin:$PATH
export AR=mipsel-linux-uclibc-ar
export AS=mipsel-linux-uclibc-as
export LD=mipsel-linux-uclibc-ld
export NM=mipsel-linux-uclibc-nm
export CC=mipsel-linux-uclibc-gcc
export CPP=mipsel-linux-uclibc-cpp
export GCC=mipsel-linux-uclibc-gcc
export CXX=mipsel-linux-uclibc-g++
export RANLIB=mipsel-linux-uclibc-ranlib
export CFLAGS="-Os -s"
export LDFLAGS="-Os -s -L/home/jann/openwrt/trunk/staging_dir/toolchain-mipsel_gcc3.4.6/lib -L/home/jann/openwrt/trunk/build_dir/mipsel/ncurses-5.6/lib"

LDFLAGS are needed to tell the compiler where to find the library.

directory: /usr/lib
mkdir tmp
mv libax25* tmp
cp -r ~/openwrt/mipsel/libs/ax25_bin/usr/lib/libax25* .

after whole compiling session in directory: /usr/lib
rm libax25*
mv tmp/libax25* .
rmdir tmp

This is necessary due to a bug.

Bugs:

• applications need ”/usr/lib/libax25*” (problem with “libtool”)
• make DESTDIR=~/openwrt/ax25-toolsfertig install (workaround “mkdir -p …”)
