[[Netsukuku_Dev/vala/flashing_notes2 | Openwrt notes]]

For compilation you will need the following dependencies:
 * valac >=0.14
 * libgee-dev
 * libpth-dev
 * libgcrypt11-dev
 * cmake
 * autogen

It is recommended to install bazaar to interact with the source
code repository since currently there is no stable tarball for
downloading.

 * bzr #see https://savannah.nongnu.org/bzr/?group=netsukuku for CVS and tar

'''howto: '''

Clone the vala ntk repository

{{{
$ bzr branch bzr://bzr.savannah.nongnu.org/netsukuku/vala netsukuku-vala
}}}

__build__

The following will generate the necesary files for autotools work as
intended. It will install ntk to /usr/local by default. Feel free
to run ./configure --help to see all the variables you might change.

{{{
cd netsukuku-vala
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
sudo make install
}}}

__copy configurations__

{{{
sudo cp -r INSTALL_DIR/linux/etc/netsukuku /etc/
}}}
usage:

{{{
ntkd --help
# for example:
ntkd -i eth0 -i wlan0 -v 4
}}}

For messing around:
{{{
# Install OpenVPN and bridge utils
apt-get install openvpn bridge-utils

# Make a tunnel interface 
sudo openvpn --mktun --dev tap0 --user `id -un`

# Check it's there 
ifconfig tap0

# Make a bridge interface 
brctl addbr br0

# Check it's there 
ifconfig br0

# Add tunnel iface to bridge
brctl addif br0 tap0

# Start ntkd on the bridge (won't work on tap0 ?!?) 
sudo ntkd -i br0

# Watch it 
tcpdump -i br0
}}}

Make sure you are not running some sort of network interface
manager such as NetworkManager, wicd, dhcpd, etc., on that
NIC, otherwise it will interrupt the process and assign a new
IP address destroying our link with the Ntk network.

The instructions to deactivate such services depends higly on
your GNU/Linux disto.
