sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install autopoint
sudo apt-get install automake
sudo apt-get install autoconf
sudo apt-get install gettext-base gettext liblocale-gettext-perl

Generate build configuration

Run ./autogen.sh

The result should be:

~/mentohust$ ./autogen.sh
+ autopoint
+ aclocal
+ autoheader
+ automake --add-missing
+ autoconf

Configure & Build

./configure
make

The binary will be in ./src

Example

##Building for OpenWRT 14.04 @ MIPS Suppose we have /path/to/openwrt/toolchain/bin/mips-openwrt-linux-uclibc-gcc

  1. Building libpcap
cd /path/to/libpcap
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/openwrt/toolchain/bin
./configure --host=mips-openwrt-linux-uclibc --with-pcap=linux
make

libpcap.a and libpcap.so will be placed in the root of libpcap directory.

  1. Building libiconv (optional)
cd /path/to/libiconv
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/openwrt/toolchain/bin
./configure --host=mips-openwrt-linux-uclibc --enable-static=yes --enable-shared=yes --disable-nls
make

libiconv.so and libiconv.a will be placed in $ROOT/lib/.libs. If you want only static or shared library, change --enable-static or --enable-shared accordingly.

  1. Building MentoHUST
    Seems something is wrong with --with-iconv-prefix. If you want to build with libiconv, do this:
export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/openwrt/toolchain/bin
CFLAGS=-I/path/to/iconv/include LIBS=/path/to/iconv/lib/.libs/libiconv.a ./configure --host=mips-openwrt-linux-uclibc  --disable-arp --disable-notify --with-pcap=/path/to/pcap/libpcap.a
make

If you don't want to include support for libiconv, things will be much easier:

export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/openwrt/toolchain/bin
./configure --host=mips-openwrt-linux-uclibc --disable-nls --disable-arp --disable-notify --with-pcap=/path/to/pcap/libpcap.a
make

Notes:

  1. ** The setup above will make the libraries statically linked.** If you want to link them dynamically, just change the .a prefix in library file name to .so.
  2. Some toolchains have libiconv.h included but don't have a working build of libiconv. If you build MentoHUST with libiconv but Ruijie messages can not be displayed (properly), check src/.deps/myfunc.Po to see if a wrong header is included.
