hi there folks
Need some help/advice on the following:-
In reference to the AX25-HOWTO I followed the instructions precisely as follows.
Downloaded linux-2.0.31
net-tools-1.33
ax25-module-14e
ax25-utils-2.1.42a
My linux system is RedHat 4.2 ,pentium cpu @ 133Mhz,16 Mb RAm,swap disk 32 Mb.
When doing the make config on kernel I elected have the options built in as
recommended.Kernel compiled OK - no problems or errors.The next stages were
the completed and every thing was as it should be.
I hit trouble on section 4.3 of the of the HOWTO.
The pre-amble on the "make" reported it had found everything except XForms.
When compilation commenced many lines appeared similar to "gcc-Wall
-Wstrict-prototype -02 -I../lib -c call.c";no other reports of errors or
warning etc.
When I did a quick check with the "network configuration" interfaces window
in x-windows it listed the netrom and rose but NO ax25.
Also there were no files in /proc/sys/net/ax25 directory.
According to the HOW-TO the "gcc-Wall -.........." points to either ncurses
being in the wrong place or improperly installed yet it found them OK.I did
a complete re-install of ncurses but to no avail.
I,ve done couple of complete re-runs from the start - still no good.So after
much hair tearing and bum scratching decided to drop a line to the list for
help.
Currently restarting from square 1.
One other question.
Where does the ax25 utils look for the XForm libray??
Have a G'day: John
