Compiling ATM under Slackware 10.2 doesn't work

dc740 · 03-30-2006, 11:39 AM

hello everybody, I was trying to use my USB modem to establish an internet connection when i realised that the only step left in my list was installing linux-ATM, I tried some RPM with a lot of dependencies, but obviously they didn't work, so I tried to compile ATM from source, but I couldn't

First I had problems with depcomp, after a little research I solved that problem, but after that a new error ocurred during the compilation of the sources and I can't get it to work.

Simple question:
Wich ATM version should I use??? anyone had had tthis problem before??? I can't download the CVS version on sourceforge, so, any way of downloading the last source code without using CVS???

Posting the exact error messages can be a big help.

it's true... I thought that it was some common error and that there was some special trick to make ATM work.

the first error was that the makefile needed a file called "depcomp".
I fixed this deleting the file "missing" and running "automake -a -c" in the directory with the sources. (I found that solution in a forum)

after that I tried to compile again but this error appeared and I don't know what to do, the Driver version es the latest stable version, linux-atm 2.4.1, and as I said before, I cannot enter to the CVS repository to get the last version

Thank you for your time

EDIT: this is something i remember now, after or before the depcomp error, there was another problem, the makefiles used a gcc parameter not recognized by the compiler... something like --tag=CC or similar (do not remember the name). so I edited the makefiles manually to remove it :S

What is your modem?

dc740 · 03-31-2006, 08:09 AM

It is a Zyxel ADSL USB Modem (prestige 630-C1) based on the Conexant AccessRunner chipset (the cxacru driver).

The modem is working be cause the driver is loaded and the lights in the modem says that is ready to establish the connection. I have made this modem work with another distribution using the 2.6.13 and 2.6.11 kernel. But now a friend showed me Slackware and I really like it, and that's why I want to find the solution. The only problem is compiling the linux-ATM

thanks, I hope there is a simple solution

Well... I'll post this topic in the Networking forum, maybe someone else tried to install atm and had the same problem
