libnl的移植

libnl简介

libnl是为了方便应用程序使用netlink接口而开发的一个库。这个库为原始netlink消息传递以及不同的netlink,family专用接口提供了一个统一的接口。libnl2.0的API与libnl1.0的API并不兼容。如果您的应用程序不做相应调整，将可能导致不可用。
移植libnl1.1是hostapd的移植的一部分。hostapd使用的libnl库为1.x版本，2.0版本的API与1.0的并不兼容，故这里移植1.1版本，但2.0移植方式相同。

开发环境

开发环境不一定是我这配置，只要是Linux操作系统，和ARM对应的交叉工具链就可以。

目标环境

移植步骤

1. 从libnl官网下载libnl-1.1.4源码。
   
2. 执行下面命名解压缩:

   tar zxvf libnl-1.1.4.tar.gz

3. 进入刚解压的目录cd libnl-1.1.4，执行下面指令，做相应的配置：

sudo ./configure --host=arm-linux --prefix=$(pwd)/__install --enable-static --enable-shared CC=/usr/arm/arm-2014.05/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc

这里可能出现如下错误

configure: WARNING: bison not found. Please install before continuing.
configure: WARNING: flex not found. Please install before continuing.
configure: error: Required packages are missing. Please install them and rerun ./configure

解决方法

sudo apt-get install bison
sudo apt-get install flex

配置成功后,看到如下输出

NOTE

There have been some changes starting with 3.2 regarding where and how libnl
is being installed on the system in order to allow multiple libnl versions
to be installed in parallel:

- Headers will be installed in ${prefix}/include/libnl3, therefore
you will need to add "-I/usr/include/libnl3" to CFLAGS

- The library basename was renamed to libnl-3, i.e. the SO names become
libnl-3.so., libnl-route-3.so, etc.

- libtool versioning was assumed, to ease detection of compatible library
versions.

If you are using pkg-config for detecting and linking against the library
things will continue magically as if nothing every happened. If you are
linking manually you need to adapt your Makefiles or switch to using
pkg-config files.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. 执行

   make

   编译：

这可能会遇到这样的错误

/usr/bin/ld: lib/.libs/libnl_3_la-addr.o: Relocations in generic ELF (EM: 40)
/usr/bin/ld: lib/.libs/libnl_3_la-addr.o: Relocations in generic ELF (EM: 40)

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:2842: recipe for target 'lib/libnl-3.la' failed
make: *** [lib/libnl-3.la] Error 1

原因
配置那步(3.)没有做对,几乎可以肯定是编译器没有配置对,导致编译出错.

1. 执行下面命令，将编译好的库文件拷贝到先前

   prefix

   指定的

   __install

   目录中：
   

   make install

成功后,在lib目录下看到下列文件

yang@yang:/usr/local/arm/libnl$ ls
bin  etc  include  lib  share
yang@yang:/usr/local/arm/libnl$ ls lib/
libnl                    libnl-genl-3.so            libnl-route-3.a
libnl-3.a                libnl-genl-3.so.200        libnl-route-3.la
libnl-3.la               libnl-genl-3.so.200.25.0   libnl-route-3.so
libnl-3.so               libnl-idiag-3.a            libnl-route-3.so.200
libnl-3.so.200           libnl-idiag-3.la           libnl-route-3.so.200.25.0
libnl-3.so.200.25.0      libnl-idiag-3.so           libnl-xfrm-3.a
libnl-cli-3.a            libnl-idiag-3.so.200       libnl-xfrm-3.la
libnl-cli-3.la           libnl-idiag-3.so.200.25.0  libnl-xfrm-3.so
libnl-cli-3.so           libnl-nf-3.a               libnl-xfrm-3.so.200
libnl-cli-3.so.200       libnl-nf-3.la              libnl-xfrm-3.so.200.25.0
libnl-cli-3.so.200.25.0  libnl-nf-3.so              pkgconfig
libnl-genl-3.a           libnl-nf-3.so.200
libnl-genl-3.la          libnl-nf-3.so.200.25.0

1. include下文件在编译程序的时候会用到，而lib下在程序运行时会用到。故在移植hostapd的时候需要指定include的路径，需要将lib下文件拷贝到开发板中。
   lib中的可执行文件,libnl-3.so.200.25.0、libnl-genl-3.so.200.25.0放到开发板的/lib目录，

使用

file filename

file

libnl-3.so.200.26.0:      ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, with debug_info, not stripped
libnl-genl-3.so.200.26.0: ELF 32-bit LSB shared object, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, with debug_info, not stripped

OKey 它被编译为ARM版本,我们可以将它放到我们的ARM开发板中了

放到开发板的的/lib目录,并创建软链接

ln -s libnl-3.so.200.25.0 libnl-3.so
ln -s libnl-3.so.200.25.0 libnl-3.so.200
ln -s libnl-genl-3.so.200.25.0 libnl-genl-3.so
ln -s libnl-genl-3.so.200.25.0 libnl-genl-3.so.200
