== Building Kismet for Touchpad ==
('''Warning:''' This is very raw and I haven't even tried it twice to verify that it works. Some of these commands need sudo. Do everything at your own risk.)

First we checkout optware from NSLU2 (which includes a toolchain and build targets)
<pre>
$ cd /srv
$ svn co http://svn.nslu2-linux.org/svnroot/optware/trunk optware
</pre>

Then we need to set our target and setup our toolchain
<pre>
$ cd optware; make cs08q1armel-target
$ cd cs08q1armel; make directories toolchain ipkg-utils
</pre>

Now we need to set up the Kismet mk-file to point to a recent build of kismet

Open <tt>make/kismet.mk</tt> with your favorite text editor.

Below are the changes I made, it needs to be cleaned up and probably unset KISMET_PATCHES instead of commenting things out.

</source>

Next we make kismet and create the ipk
<pre>
$ cd /srv/optware/cs08q1armel
$ make kismet kismet-ipk
</pre>

Now if everything went well you should have an ipk in your target build directory that can be installed using ipkg-opt.

'''Three things you'll probably run into:'''
* First either curses or pcap will error out saying it couldn't create a file because of a bin directory not existing. You'll have to go into the staging directory and create that directory and run make again.

*Second you might run into errors (<tt>undefined reference to `dlclose'</tt> while making kismet. Try <tt>LIBS="-lm -ldl" make kismet</tt> in that case. At worst you'll have to edit a kismet makefile but I don't believe I had to.

* Third the config files may or may not actually get included in the ipk. If not copy those from <tt>builds/kismet/conf</tt> to <tt>/opt/etc/kismet</tt> on your device (and probably edit them to set gps to false)
