webif on sheevaplug


build opkg package for kirkwood glibc 2.6.x linux 2.6
install/force opkg on sheevaplug. seems to coexist with apt-get but it
may get confusing.

install uci libuci haserl ( these may be on the optware/cs08q1armel
repository) or build them.

build busybox package for kirkwood glibc 2.6.x linux 2.6 to include ps,
awk, ls, sh , ash , free. just copy the exe to /bin.
Add httpd if you want to use it. i use thttpd (works ok)
need to link sh, ash,ps,awk,ls to busybox( free is accesssed explicitly
via "busybox free" command). try to rename old links to XXX.old
alternatively dl the busybox package from optware and extract the busybox
exe.

build webif package for kirkwood glibc 2.6.x linux 2.6. webifmetabin is
the only executable in this package
attempt to install.

modify /etc/init.d/webif.... remove /etc/rc.common reference and comment
out start(). (cowboy hack...yeehaa)

#!/bin/sh /etc/rc.common
# identification of the device
START=90
start() {
. /lib/config/uci.sh
. /usr/lib/webif/functions.sh

becomes

#!/bin/sh
# identification of the device
# START=90
{
. /lib/config/uci.sh
. /usr/lib/webif/functions.sh

run /etc/init.d/webif

thttpd start command: /usr/sbin/thttpd -C
/etc/thttpd/thttpdwebif.conf -i /var/run/thttpdwebif.pid
