[Xorp-hackers] Getting XORP svn to compile (and run) on Centos (RHEL) 5 - solution

[Eric S. Johnson]

Below is a diff of $SRCTOP/SConstruct that allows the SVN xorp 
to compile on Centos5 (and I assume would work for RHEL 5 too)

The first part allowed it to find libcrypto in /usr/lib. 

The second part gets rid of the

TypeError: expected a character buffer object:

    Split(env['CFLAGS']))
  File "/opt/router/src/xorp-svn-20100211/SConstruct", line 481:
    lambda s: not s.startswith(tuple(strip_pg_flags)),

error from scons. But it is a brute force with massive ignorance solution.
I am not much of a python/scons hacker.


It builds and so far runs fine (with a simple interface/ospf config). 
I have not attacked the PIM and VRRPD issues I saw with 1.6 yet. 
Seeing if those problems still exist will be fun for tomorrow :)
