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.
