Hi guys,
I'm trying to cross-compile iftop while using a custom install location
of libpcap.
So far, I am unsuccessful with going past a configure script error...
First of all I have libpcap installed here:
/usr/src/DVG1000_V1.1.01.04_WN_src/apps# ls libpcap-1.2.0/pcap-install/
bin include lib share
root@builder:/usr/src/DVG1000_V1.1.01.04_WN_src/apps# ls
libpcap-1.2.0/pcap-install/include/
pcap pcap-bpf.h pcap.h pcap-namedb.h
root@builder:/usr/src/DVG1000_V1.1.01.04_WN_src/apps# ls
libpcap-1.2.0/pcap-install/include/pcap
bluetooth.h bpf.h ipnet.h namedb.h pcap.h sll.h usb.h vlan.h
root@builder:/usr/src/DVG1000_V1.1.01.04_WN_src/apps# ls
libpcap-1.2.0/pcap-install/lib/
libpcap.a libpcap.so libpcap.so.1 libpcap.so.1.2.0
# CC=mips-linux-uclibc-cc ac_cv_linux_vers=2
ac_cv_func_malloc_0_nonnull=yes ./configure --host=mips-linux
--with-libpcap=/usr/src/DVG1000_V1.1.01.04_WN_src/apps/libpcap-1.2.0/pcap-install
checking gethostbyaddr_r usability... can't test because we are
cross-compiling
checking where to find pcap.h... /include
checking for pcap_open_live in -lpcap... no
configure: error: can't find libpcap
You're not going to get very far without libpcap.
Looking at the ./configure --help =>
--with-libpcap=WHERE Where the libpcap packet-capture library is
found.
The pcap library should be installed in
WHERE/lib,
and the header file in either WHERE/include or
WHERE/include/pcap.
I've already checked and the library files + header files really are in
"WHERE"/lib and /include/pcap....
So what am I doing wrong ?
Is there a way to convince the configure script to take a better look in
there ?
Thanks,
Mihai
