With your cross compile environment set up using instructions from my previous post, get and unpack the inetutils source:
# wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/inetutils/inetutils-1.8.tar.gz # tar xzvf inetutils-1.8.tar.gz # cd inetutils-1.8
You'll see what I mean when I say this is one of the easy ones. This package contains a lot of other applications with you probably don't want, including ifconfig (which I haven't yet worked out how to compile). To configure and build ping6, just do the following 2 commands:
# ./configure --host=mipsel-linux-uclibc --disable-clients --disable-servers --disable-ifconfig # make
Assuming that went without a hitch, your new shiny ping6 binary can be found in the ping6 subdirectory. Copy that to your router and give it a go!
Next week I have a quick guide to an alternative use for DNSmasq.
