Hi Rae,
Thanks for your ongoing interest in OLSR, which is an optional XORP
component at the moment.
If you can test a prospective release candidate on Ubuntu, that is
excellent, we need all the help we can get to push out a 1.7-RC.
Unfortunately, at the moment, OLSR isn't a priority, as we try to bring
the XORP install up under the new build system. We may get around to
fixing this later on, as we figure out some of the kinks with SCons. For
now, we've focused on the core XORP components which people are using.
What we really want to see is a means of building/installing optional
XORP components without having everything in one central location in the
source directory. This was achieved with FTJam, and should be possible
with SCons.
Based on what you've posted, it sounds like a path needs to be fixed
somewhere, as olsr resides under 'contrib'. The obj/ hierarchy which
SCons creates corresponds to the source directories. JT just cut over to
using the Variables() object in SConstruct, so scons command line
options for the build might need a rethink.
thanks,
BMS
