Using autoconf_2.59a solves this issue.

Build your own ipk (for instance oww for the wl500g):

For ipkg build, it is usually recommended to use a non-root user and a non-user accessible subdirectory, often /home/slug/optware.

The steps for optware/wl500g development are:

1) download wl500g toolchain from http://www.wlan-sat.com/boleo/optware/ to /opt/brcm and untar it with:

   tar -C / -xjf hndtools-mipsel-uclibc-3.2.3-uClibc++-0.1.12.tar.bz2

2) mkdir -p $HOME/slug && cd $HOME/slug

   svn co http://svn.nslu2-linux.org/svnroot/optware/trunk optware

3) cd $HOME/slug/optware && make wl500g-target 4) cd $HOME/slug/optware/wl500g 5) make directories ipkg-utils

The above only needs to be done once, and should only take a couple of minutes below, assume you're in $HOME/slug/optware/wl500g directory.

6) make hello-ipk (or hello-dirclean hello-check, this is for testing toolchain)... 7) make oww-ipk

 put the [http://www.nslu2-linux.org/Makefile|nslu2_master_Makefile] in Mywl500g/ directory. To build the optware :

And make 3.80 when building Oleg firmware.

MySQL? and possibly others packages using autoreconf fails to build if autoconf from 2.59.cvs.2006.05.13 is used. Using autoconf_2.59a solves this issue.

Alternatively you can use the same toolchain which is used to build the wl500g firmware and then issue

Follow wiki.wl500g.info one step instructions to build custom firmware and its toolchain.

Note that the official builds for wl500g optware use the toolchain from wl500g.dyndns.org with uClibc++ upgrade for C++ compilation

Toolchain from http://wl500g.dyndns.org was updated to accomodate uClibc++ library for C++ compilation. You can grab the whole toolchain from http://www.wlan-sat.com/boleo/optware/ and install it with

tar -C / -xjf hndtools-mipsel-uclibc-3.2.3-uClibc++-0.1.12.tar.bz2

Optionally you can use the same toolchain which is used to build the wl500g firmware and then issue

   make libuclibc++
   make libuclibc++-install

in optware directory to upgrade toolchain with libuclibc++. This upgrade will affect all C++ include headers, install uClibc++ library and wrapper for g++. Note that gcc compiler remains untouched with this upgrade.

For running C++ programs like groff, python, mysql, ctorrent, ..., ipkg package libuclibc++_0.1.x.y-x.ipk is also required and built automaticaly as dummy dependence of libstdc++ (empty package) on libuclibc++ (real package).

 put the nslu2_master_Makefile in Mywl500g/ directory. To build the optware :

$make setup-optware

$make optware-wl500g

automake1.4 and 1.9 : it helps a lot :-) And make 3.80 when building Oleg firmware

http://wl500g.dyndns.org - you must use the same toolchain which is used to build the wl500g firmware.

• C poor Noobs might not know : you better install in your host machine both

Note that the official builds for wl500g optware use the toolchain from wl500g.dyndns.org

• A toolchain:

http://downloads.openwrt.org/docs/buildroot-documentation.html $cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@openwrt.org:/openwrt co openwrt once the compilation succeeded, copy /openwrt/staging_dir_mipsel to /opt/brcm/hndtools-mipsel-uclibc .

In the bin/ mipsel-linux-uclibc-gcc is referred to ,while in the master Makefile mipsel-uclibc-gcc is used ;so either make the necessary symlinks in the bin/ or modify in the master Makefile to reflect this.

• B wl500g_optware:

 put the nslu2_master_Makefile in Mywl500g/ directory.To build the optware :

$make setup-optware (it in fact cvs check out "cvsroot/nslu co -d optware unslung" )

$make optware-wl500g

will normally build all the wl500g packages described in the Makefile.

• C needed Hacks:

I describe just two as examples to follow;you need more to get the full blown packages compiled ! Once "adduser" successfully built,it just stops at "adns " with the following error: -- make[3]: Entering directory `/home/wangji/hslug/optware/wl500g/builds/adns/src'

/opt/brcm/hndtools-mipsel-uclibc/bin/mipsel-uclibc-gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wcast-qual -Wpointer-arith -c -o parse.o parse.c

parse.c:118: error: conflicting types for 'adns__parse_domain'

internal.h:579: error: previous declaration of 'adns__parse_domain' was here --

• 2 ways to solve :
  • a dirty_solution:
  just replace in optware/wl500g/builds/adns/src/parse.c line 117 :

       adns_queryflags  by  parsedomain_flags 
  redo '$make optware-wl500g' to resume the build

• b pseudogood_solution : create 2 trees adns-1.1/ and adns-1.1-patch/ from adns-1.1.tar.gz
  modify parse.c as in a) then create the patch with diff -Naur adns-1.1 adns-1.1-patch > optware/sources/adns/adns-1.1.patch

  modify optware/make/adns.mk to reflect this ;2 lines are concerned

• line 41 : ADNS_PATCHES=$(ADNS_SOURCE_DIR)/adns-1.1.patch
• line 96 : cat $(ADNS_PATCHES) | patch -d $(BUILD_DIR)/$(ADNS_DIR) -p1

-- again,redo make optware-wl500g to resume;

• you will be stopped at "bash" with error:

make[3]: Entering directory `/home/wangji/hslug/optware/wl500g/builds/bash/lib/malloc'

/opt/brcm/hndtools-mipsel-uclibc/bin/mipsel-uclibc-gcc -I. -I../.. -I../.. -I../../include -I../../lib -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DSHELL -g -O2 -DRCHECK -Dbotch=programming_error -O2 -pipe -I/home/wangji/hslug/optware/wl500g/staging/opt/include -c malloc.c

• dirty solution "label at end of compound statement":

 add a "return;"  to line 904 of optware/wl500g/builds/bash/lib/malloc/malloc.c

resume with make optware-wl500g !
