Building Cerowrt on your own Linux machine¶

Download and run the build_cero.sh script

Answer 'Y', when it asks you to preserve existing branches.

This script has been tested on debian squeeze, lenny, and ubuntu 10.10, on the x86_64 architectures.

Given that this builds most of cerowrt against the main git head trees, your build will differ somewhat from what we are making available as release candidates at present. After we get stable, we will tag and freeze the relevant trees.

We note that due to this difference, there may be slight (or even major) differences in the default .config file. It helps to repeatedly cp env/.config onto .config and run make defconfig, and install packages, etc, until they more closely match.

We will improve this script as time goes on, and if you run into trouble, please contact the #bufferbloat irc channel and/or the mailing lists.
