ndt-users list created

Reverted and applied to the branch. The ndt-web10g branch now builds for me, so I think we're good (at least according to the Linus Torvalds maxim: "If it compiles, it is good; if it boots up, it is perfect."

Cheers,

aaand apparently this is in trunk. I'm so sorry.

i'm on my phone right now so i can't pull it out immediately. If anyone else can, please do, and I'll try to sort out my local repo to reland it in the branch.

Never mind .. I landed it now.

So the ndt-web10g (not to be confused with the web10g) branch should now build and run on any combination of web10g/web100 supported platforms.

I have a patch for the ndt-web10g branch that seems ready to go, but I am having some problems committing. It's attached if anyone else can apply it for me.

I may have b0rked the patching. Feel free to revert my commit and properly apply the changes.

I don't think the patch applied cleanly. I see no reference to HAVE_LIBTCPE in src/*. The only reference is in configure.ac.

That or I messed up cloning the repo....

I'm seeing similar errors with a clean checkout of the branch. Working on a patch.

I created an ndt-web10g branch and applied the patch. I don't have a web10g host so it doesn't build for me:

Dunno if the patch is wrong, or if it just no longer builds with web100. If the latter, that's a bit … problematic.

This builds against trunk for me.

I haven't completely tested it, as I don't have a Web10g kernel to hand, but it might get you a step further.

Hey Dominic,

I'd love to roll the patches in. Unfortunately, they don't apply to trunk, and it'd be a fair amount of work to get them into shape to apply to trunk (it's mainly whitespace differences best I can tell). If someone was able to port it, though, I'd be more than happy to see them applied.

Cheers,

Aaron

Hi Aaron

Is there any chance that these can be rolled in to trunk?

Thanks

Hi Daniel,

As Alan noted, NDT currently only works with web100, and not web10g. However, Richard Sanger has produced a set of patches for using NDT with web10g. I've cc'd Richard who may know the current state of the patches (I've attached the most recent copies I know of), and which version of NDT they apply to.

Cheers,
Aaron
