RPL/2

[pier4r]

So using the 4.1.27 sources on a debian 6.0.10 (Via C3 ~500 mhz , 256 mb sdram)

So far the configure script is telling me what to install. Although some reports:

1.

2.
while configure is working (on debian 6.0.10 I did not have to install patch) if I press Ctrl+C to interrupt the process, it takes a while to be recognized. And it does not stop the process. That is pretty annoying. If I do Ctrl+C I want to quit.
3.
configure: line 6646: autoreconf: command not found
it should stop telling the user to install it.
4.
checking for uuencode... yes
tar: openssl-1.1.0f/util/perl: Cannot mkdir: Input/output error
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
Checking for gcc...
(Why then does it continue to work? I do not know what to do I let it continue)
5. previous killed configurations left some archives in the folder "tools" not properly unpacked
and this was not detected by the scrip (nor by the user). Resulting in this error.
=== configuring in tools/libsigsegv-2.11 (/usb8g/packages/rpl-4.1.27/tools/libsigsegv-2.11)

Deleting unpacked tools in ./tools and starting the configuration again.
6.
Even after the installation of autoreconf (debian installed "dh-autoreconf"), after cleaning up the tools folder, autoreconf is not found.
7.
ok maybe I should have deleted the config.status file. I deleted it and I try again. Also I do prefer to install (if I ever will be able to) the software in its own directory because otherwise removing it is not that easy.
8. after cleaning up config.status the current configuration worked (I did not pay much attention to possible output of errors though. The process on the system is very slow).
Downloaded automake_1.15.1-2.1_all.deb .
Make is working, let's see (I will not pay too much attention to errors, only if the program stop compiling.)
With my current system: https://xkcd.com/303/
9. Ok failed. I have a too new version of automake (I instaled 1.15.1 instead of 1.15). After hours of waiting, I move on on something else and I'll try again in the future. (still with 4.1.27)

I'll report other errors when they appears as edit.

In general is obvious that rpl2 required a lot of work, one can see it with all the checks done by "configure". Nonetheless, exactly because it is not trivial, it needs not to let slip errors that may affect the build result.
