Hi,
ngircd 24 runs on the VoCore2 mini computer (mipsel/OpenWRT/uclibc): http://vocore.io/v2.html <http://vocore.io/v2.html>
Build system is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x86_64 for cross-compiling, with the VoCore2/OpenWRT tools installed from <http://vocore.io/v2u.html <http://vocore.io/v2u.html>> -> Downloads -> Toolchain: Download (Ubuntu 14.04 x64).
1) Unpack the toolchain
I unpacked these to ~/vocore2 and removed the "outer-shell" directories.
2) Prepare cross-build
$ PATH=$PATH:/home/goetz/vocore2/bin
$ export PATH
$ STAGING_DIR=/home/goetz/vocore2/
$ export STAGING_DIR
3) Fix "resolve.c"
Otherwise we’ll run into [1]:
$ diff ngircd-24/src/ngircd/resolve-orig.c ngircd-24/src/ngircd/resolve.c
112,113d111
< #if !defined(HAVE_GETADDRINFO) || !defined(HAVE_GETNAMEINFO)
< #if !defined(WANT_IPV6) && defined(h_errno)
130,131d127
< #endif
< #endif
Basically, we need to “enforce” the definition of Get_Error. Without removing the conditionals, it will be missing and the cross-build will fail.
3) Configure for cross-build
$ ./configure --build=mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu --host=mipsel-openwrt-linux-uclibc --build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
Check that the line
checking whether we are cross compiling... yes
is there.
The summary should look similar to:
ngIRCd 24 has been configured with the following options:
Host: mipsel-openwrt-linux-uclibc
Compiler: mipsel-openwrt-linux-uclibc-gcc -std=gnu99
Compiler flags: -g -O2 -pipe -W -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wstrict-prototypes -DSYSCONFDIR='"$(sysconfdir)"' -DDOCDIR='"$(docdir)"'
'ngircd' binary: /usr/local/sbin
Configuration file: /usr/local/etc
Manual pages: /usr/local/share/man
Documentation: /usr/local/share/doc/ngircd
Syslog support: yes Enable debug code: no
zlib compression: no IRC sniffer: no
Use TCP Wrappers: no Strict RFC mode: no
IDENT support: no IRC+ protocol: yes
IPv6 protocol: no I/O backend: epoll(), select()
PAM support: no SSL support: no
libiconv support: no
4) Build ngircd from source
$ make CC=mipsel-openwrt-linux-uclibc-gcc LD=mipsel-openwrt-linux-uclibc-ld
5) Check correct binary type
$ file src/ngircd/ngircd
src/ngircd/ngircd: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, MIPS, MIPS32 rel2 version 1, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), not stripped
Looking good! Now you can copy over the binary to your VoCore2 and run it.
