Hi,
I wanted to install bird on my Netgear R7000 router running Shibby Tomato
firmware. As there were no optware packages available, I decided to compile one
myself. I have followed instructions for compiling bird from
http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/AddAPackageToOptware. I was compiling
both 1.4.0 and 1.4.5. Compilation required the following patch:
--- sysdep/unix/io.c.orig 2014-11-02 02:47:28.000000000 -0800

as for some reason IPV6_V6ONLY was not defined in my cross-compiling platform
(Ubuntu 7.10 64-bit).
Here is the configure I used:

BIRD was configured with the following options:
Source directory: .
Object directory: obj
Iproute2 directory: /etc/iproute2
System configuration: ./sysdep/cf/linux-v6.h
Debugging: no
POSIX threads: no
Routing protocols: bgp ospf pipe radv rip static
Client: yes
Bird has compiled fine, but when I established connections with my two other
routers (running ubuntu precise 64-bit) I got the following in my router’s
syslog:
Nov 2 19:27:16 router-2 daemon.err bird6: Bad OSPF DBDES packet from
fe80::xxxx:xxxx:xxxx:f300 - too short (28 B)
Nov 2 19:27:16 router-2 daemon.err bird6: Bad OSPF DBDES packet from
fe80::yyyy:yyyy:yyyy:f300 - too short (28 B)
I guess there is something wrong with type detection during config but have no
idea what exactly is wrong and how to resolve…
Best,
Radek
