Re: [Gumstix-users] Building Libpcap for gumstix toolchain

[Craig H. <cr...@gu...>]

Farhan,

libpcap is already in the buildroot, with a makefile already there  
for you.  From the base dir of the buildroot (ie gumstix-buildroot/  
in your case), just type "make libpcap" and it'll build it and  
install the header files in the staging directory and the libs as  
necessary.  You can then probably copy the make/tcpdump.mk to make/ 
arpd.mk and edit it to do what arpd needs as far as it's different  
from tcpdump.  You can also add libpcap/arpd then as TARGETs in the  
top-level buildroot Makefile.

If you haven't read it yet, I recommend
