[Xorp-hackers] problem compiling xorp - ubuntu

[Aleksandar Cvjetic]

To save everyone's time striving to install XORP SVN version on Ubuntu9.10,
below is the list of packages that might be needed (among the rest) before
successful installation:

- scons toolset  (apt-get install scons)

- apt-get install libboost-regex-dev ( or apt-get install
libboost-regex1.40-dev for boost1.4)

- apt-get install libssl-dev
- apt-get install libpcap-dev

- apt-get install libncurses5-dev


To compile and install:


scons

scons install at xorp top level directory.


xorp_rtrmgr and xorpsh scripts needed to run XORP router are then placed in
/usr/local/xorp/sbin:


./xorp_rtrmgr -b <bootfile_name.boot>

./xorpsh


rm -fr obj  is needed if you fail to compile (as I did), to be sure next
time it reconfigures and re-builds properly.


Thanks to Ben,

Alex
