I'm not sure if it makes a lot of sense to start supporting that as a
production platform for IS servers. Fun as a novelty trick, but maybe it's
better as an igate platform. Can be done, works, but we'll see if it's a
stable like a real server...

This board might be better suited (somewhat more expensive at 65 USD but
more CPU/RAM and also WLAN onboard)

I will complile on my Raspberry and playaround a little

When the Hackberry arrive I will do the same there

I just completed a compile on the Raspberry,

Does not the make install script install init.d scripts?

No - init scripts are distribution specific, and "make install" does not
currently figure out which distribution it is running on. Init scripts are
installed by the rpm/dpkg stuff.

On the pi I build by running "make make-deb" which builds a .dpkg in ..,
then I sudo dpkg -i ../aprsc-x.y.z....dpkg which installs (or upgrades, or
does a live upgrade). I just upgraded T2FINLAND like that 18 minutes ago
to test the current development code. git pull, make make-deb, dpkg -i.

Hi Hessu

I get this error

gcc: error: /usr/local/lib/libevent.a: No such file or directory


Even thou libevent2.x is installed

I did locate libevent.a to

/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/libevent.a


Is there something that needs to be configured more for Debian (Wheezy)
on Raspberry? Or shall simply symlink it?

If you are positively sure that /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabi/libevent.a is
libevent2, then symlink might work. The dpkg build rules just use a
configure flag which expect it to be in /usr/local/lib. I compiled
libevent2 from source, and that's where it puts itself by default.

I've got a Pi on order (512Mb version) and I am looking into the prospects of if the Pi (multiple units) will be a suitable replacement for my existing i686 IBM eSERVER 220

So I to will probably prefer to use native debs over compiling from source. I've got a bit of debian package experience so I'll most likely spend time making arm specific debs, these could be made available if required...

Eta on my Pi isn't until late November / early December
