[Xorp-hackers] OLSR build glue

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
