peerguardian / moblock installation on raspbmc

Question

Since I'm thinking of using my pi to do some downloads, i would like to setup a peerblock/peerguardian equivalent.

I searched the internet, and I've found this.

i'm using latest raspbmc,

cat /scripts/upd_hist/build_info
raspbmc-rls-1.0-hardfp-b20130616-u20130616

uname output:

Linux raspbmc 3.6.11 #2 PREEMPT Sat Jun 15 21:45:28 UTC 2013 armv6l GNU/Linux

./autogen.sh output:

trying to compile pgl 2.2.2

Answer 1

I'm the author of the "found this" page =)

Please, for God's sake don't run anything as superuser, except sudo make install step.

Looks, like raspbmc is missing some kernel header files, there are two ways to correct this problem:

1. you may use apt-get to install linux-headers, but this is likely to break your raspbmc installation, since the raspbmc explicitly warns against using apt-get.

2. you may use another raspbian installation to compile the peerguardian and then tar-copy-untar and sudo make install on your raspbmc.

Personally, I'd prefer the latter.

Answer 2

You just have to edit /usr/include/linux/sysinfo.h and add the following code :

#ifndef __kernel_long_t
typedef long     __kernel_long_t;
typedef unsigned long   __kernel_ulong_t;
#endif

it is ugly but it works.

Answer 3

Try running all the build steps as sudo. I've often found that without that things often don't compile correctly. Other than that, my next guess would be that you're missing somekind of dependency.
