Compiling and installing OwlPS
= Basics =
It is planned to use the ``autotools`` in a near future, but for now,
OwlPS uses a simple set of GNU makefiles to compile and install the
various modules. The top-level makefile will call ``make`` into the
subdirectories for all the modules.
At any level, you can type:
``` make help
to see the usable targets and requirements to compile.
Once you have all the requirements, the easy way is to just call
``make`` from the top-level directory, to build all the modules.
= Compiling =
You can choose the compiler to use by setting the CC variable when
calling ``make``, for example:
make CC=tcc
By default, ``clang`` will be used for C modules, or ``colorgcc`` if
``clang`` is not installed. If neither ``clang`` or ``colorgcc`` is
installed, CC is left to the ``make`` default.
For OwlPS Positioner (C++), ``colorgcc`` is used, or the default CC if
it is not installed. Please keep in mind that this module requires GCC
4.4 or later.
= Compiling on BSD systems =
Remember to use ``gmake`` instead of ``make``. From the top-level, you
will need to set the MAKE variable, for example:
``` gmake MAKE=gmake
OwlPS Listener will not compile since it still contains some
Linux-specific code. You may want to comment-out the related lines of
the top-level makefile.
You might also need to set some variables, for example CC to force a
specific GCC version to be used.
= Compiling for OpenWrt =
To compile for OpenWrt, you need to set the ``OPENWRT_VERSION`` variable
when calling make, for example:
``` make OPENWRT_VERSION=10.03
The makefile ``Makefile_atheros_openwrt`` will help you compile only
modules that have been tested for OpenWrt. If you do not set
``OPENWRT_VERSION``, it will set it for you to "10.03", but you can
specify another version, such as "trunk":
``` make -f Makefile_atheros_openwrt OPENWRT_VERSION=trunk
It is assumed than the OpenWrt SDK is installed in
``$HOME/openwrt/buildroot`` and that the target architecture is
``atheros``. For a different set up, you will need to edit the
``common.mk`` file.
For now, only OpenWrt 10.03 and trunk are supported. If you set
OPENWRT_VERSION to something different than "10.03", it is replaced by
"trunk".
For this to work we advise that you do something like that:
```
mkdir -p ~/openwrt/atheros/trunk
cd ~/openwrt/atheros/trunk
ln -s ../../buildroot/staging_dir
ln -s \
../../buildroot/staging_dir/target-mips_uClibc-0.9.33 \
target-mips_uClibc
ln -s \
../../buildroot/staging_dir/toolchain-mips_gcc-4.6-linaro_uClibc-0.9.33/ \
toolchain-mips_gcc_uClibc
```
Of course, you will have to update the symlinks when you compile a new
version of the SDK.
= Installing =
At any level, you can install what is installable by typing, as
``root``:
``` make install
