Hi, I am running openslug 3.10BETA on my NSLU2 and want to compile the latest " libftdi-0.10 " since I am unable to find stable packages at ipkgfind website.

Unfortunately on make I get the following errors, can one please assist so I can compile please? Cheers!

Next I start making (make) and the following error occurs:

Are you compiling this on the NSLU2? If not on, you need to specify the architecture of the NSLU2 when you run ./configure along with some other info about the NSLU2 architecture.

Hi, no I am compiling on the NSLU2.

I am getting there but still not satisfactory result.


ls -l `which ar` gives me:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Jul 31 09:23 /usr/bin/ar -> ../../bin/busybox


So added "ln -sf /usr/armeb-linux/bin/ar /usr/bin/ar" which starts indeed compiling though after make and make install I get the following output and still not satisfactory result...

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Libraries have been installed in:
/usr/local/lib

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
during linking
- use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.
