linuxgeek: Re: [nslu2-linux] transmission on cs08q1armel

Thanks for the tip!

How do I get my optware config to point to the opkg feeds?

I tried adding the package url to /opt/etc/ipkg.conf like so:

src cs08q1 http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03.1/ixp4xx_generic/packages/

and /etc/opt/ipkg/cross-feed.conf :

src/gz cross http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03.1/ixp4xx_generic/packages

But I can't find or install any packages from those repositories.

Do I need to use opkg instead of ipkg? If so, do you know how I can bootstrap that onto my WVL?

Thanks

Hi!

Try the oficial repository of openwrt

Hi,

So I tried to send this to the maintainer of the transmission package, oleo@email.si, but it looks like his email is no longer valid.

I've been trying to install transmission on a Buffalo Linkstation LS-WVL, the CPU is an armv5tel.

The latest verion of transmission in the ipkg repository http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs08q1armel/cross/stable/Packages is version 2.61-1, but when I installed and tried to run it it failed while trying to load libssl-0.9.7.

The openssl package downloaded and installed was of version 0.9.8

Looking it up, transmission needs at least openssl of version 0.9.8 or higher.

I also tried compiling it on my own, downloading the optware toolchain making the cpu-target and ipkg toolchain, and doing a make transmission-ipkg, but I ran into the same issue.

Is there a problem with the package, or am I doing something wrong?
Any pointers for how to debug and fix issues like these in the future when cross compiling other software using optware?

Thanks,
Michael
