[Xorp-users] Build difficulties

[Weaver John-JWEAVER1]

Thanks.  I do have the 2 #defines you discussed.  I was not sure on that.
It appears that the others are failing also.  Are any of the other files
necessary?  I wonder why it is compiling fine on Linux but not SunOS?

If your Linux system has NETLINK support, then you don't need SIOCGIFCONF.
All Linux kernels should have NETLINK, but you can double-check that inside
the top-level config.h you have:

/* Define to 1 if you have the <linux/rtnetlink.h> header file. */ #define
HAVE_LINUX_RTNETLINK_H 1

/* Define to 1 if you have Linux-style netlink sockets (AF_NETLINK) */
#define HAVE_NETLINK_SOCKETS 1

About the above AWK error, I am surprised that you see it only in the
static_routes directory, but you didn't see it in other directories (fea,
fib2mrib, etc).
Can you try to run the same command by hand:

cd static_routes
../utils/xrl_wrappers_generator.sh ../xrl/targets/static_routes.xrls >
../static_routes/xrl_static_routes_shell_funcs.sh

For comparison purpose, you can run some of the other commands that
presumably succeeded:

cd ../fib2mrib
../utils/xrl_wrappers_generator.sh ../xrl/targets/fib2mrib.xrls >
../fib2mrib/xrl_fib2mrib_shell_funcs.sh

If the command constantly fails inside the static_routes directory, a quick
work-around would be to just put a dummy empty file instead of
static_routes/xrl_static_routes_shell_funcs.sh and continue with the
compilation:

touch static_routes/xrl_static_routes_shell_funcs.sh

You can get away with this, because currently the above file is not really
used.
