Developing in a Bluequartz box

Nuonce published a long time ago a package that installs all the development resources needed for a BQ box, but in the last releases of BQ, BlueOnyx or Strongbolt the package doesn't want to install. The solution acording to this posts in the Bluequartz list is to install everything from yum:

In one line:

• yum install autoconf automake14 automake15 automake16 automake17 automake binutils bison cpp cvs diffstat flex gcc gcc-c++ gcc-objc gettext glibc-devel glibc-headers glibc-kernheaders libobjc libstdc++-devel ncurses-devel patch patchutils pkgconfig rpm-build

Now we can compile in our boxes.

Switching RaQ's

I had some free time this weekend to realize one of my test. In this case I tested the second Cobalt RaQ4 with CentOS+BQ and Torrentflux 2.4. Very happy with the results. Now I can download big files of various GB's.

After this successfull test I decided to switch servers and use the new one as BitTorrent permanent client. To do that I only need to set the ip address of the new one like the old RaQ and install the no-ip.com linux client. And here start the problems: The CentOS+BlueQuartz distributions didn't have compiling tools.

I only found the GCC-Tools package from NuOnce Networks in a BlueQuartz package but it doesn't want to install by the easy way with the GUI. Fortunatelly theirs forums has the solution, install it manualy by the shell: Here is the link.

1. Upload the file via FTP to the server.
2. Uncompress the file: tar xfvpz BQ-5102*
3. Go into the RPMS folder: cd RPMS
4. Be root: type su and then the admin password as required.
5. Install all the pakages with rpm -ivh --force --nodeps *.

And ready. Now you can follow my previous guide to install the no-ip.com client.

UPDATE

With the new software, the symbolic links to the noip software have to be done in other way then the old RaQ4 software:

In the old Raq you have todo in the /etc/rc.d/init.d folder:

# ln -s noip /etc/rc3.d/S99noip
# ln -s noip /etc/rc6.d/K99noip
# ln -s noip /etc/rc0.d/K99noip

In the new CentOS is a bit more tricky:

1. # cd /etc/rc3.d
2. # ln -s ../init.d/noip S99noip
3. # cd /etc/rc6.d
4. # ln -s ../init.d/noip K99noip
5. #cd /etc/rc0.d
6. # ln -s ../init.d/noip K99noip
