Xtras

Published by skar

The extra packages you find here are intended to help Pika WARP Appliance developers in porting software components (packages) they may require but are not yet available directly from PIKA Technologies. All Xtras are provided on an “as is” basis

The following is an example of how to add an extra package to the stock warp distribution. This example will use the lzo package that can be found on this website. The instructions are generic and you can add any package from this site by replacing <lzo> with <your_package_name>. All of these instructions assume you have a version of pads checked out. The steps are as follows:

  1. #> cd /pads/packages
  2. #> mkdir lzo
  3. #> svn co http://svn.pikatech.com/pads/extra_packages/lzo/ ./lzo
  4. Now to get this to compile as part of the main configuration menu, you will need to add a line to the /pads/packages/Config.in file such as follows: source “package/lzo/Config.in”
  5. #> cd /pads/
  6. Then run make menuconfig and you should see the package you just added under the package selection menu.
    #> make menuconfig
  7. Select your package in the list and save configuration.
  8. Now to build the package just run make: #> make

You should now have the package built and installed on your system.
