[ELDK] pcap library and tcpdump in ELDK

[Dave Rensberger]

OK.  Thanks.   I really think the missing header file is not just a
cross compilation thing (I'll find out soon here, as time constraints
are probably going to force me to just natively compile it on my
target).   

On my x86 linux box, there is an opensslconf.h, but there's an
additional opensslconf-i386.h, so I believe that the build process is
not wrong in it's expectation that there would also be an architecture
specific file for powerpc.

Thanks for the template .spec files.   I never really wanted to learn
the nuances of RPM, but it seems like it would be the best way to
maintain my company's distribution, and if I could help ELDK out by
contributing some stuff back, that would be good too.

Dave,

you are fighting with a spec file that was created and thought for the
Fedora distribution. Sometimes it is easier to start from scratch. Of
course, you can take a spec file as reference, but to generate a RPM for
an embedded system you must take into account some other factors, such
as configure cannot run test programs, footprint (probably you do not
want man pages..) and so on.
You are starting from an older version of both libpcap and tcpdump and
you want to apply several patches. However, if you take the last version
you do not need any patches, because they are already applied.

I have try to see if there are some hints with pcap/tcpdump for ELDK,
but there are not. As I said, it was easier to start from a blank spec
file.

I have attached the two spec files for pcap/tcpdump I generated.
Maybe we can add these packages to newer releases.

Following Wolfgang's instructions, you can build the packages with
$CROSS_COMPILE-rpmbuild.

Best regards,
Stefano Babic
