Hi, I'm working on a project requiring massive transfer of data between an host and several android devices and I was thinking to use udpcast. This requires compiling udpcast itself for Android.
Does anyone know of a porting to android? It would be nice if someone had already done the job, thus sparing me to reinvent wheel... :)
On the other hand, if nobody already did, is silly to waste the effort I'll have to do be keeping that for me. I already have the company accord for sharing any work done on the porting with the community, but for this access to the distribution is not enough: I need to access the source itself (including clconfigure.ac and Makefile.am) as it is stored in the source repository, at least to fetch it. Is this possible? And if yes, how to obtain it?
Thanks
Leo

Hi,
I already got this file and started working on it. It was how I found that the config.sub script (one of those installed by autotools) is very old (2006) and does not understand 'android' as system name. Thus I changed it, using a more recent version. I did this 'by hand', but this should be done by running the opportune autoconf command. This however, needs some files (such as configure.ac) that are not included in the distribution created by make dist (which is the file you refer to). What I was asking if it was possible to get a access (read-only obviously) to the project git/svn/cvs/whatever source repository.
Thanks Leo

You can find config.sub and config.guess files from http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/config/config/
Yes, the string *checkout* is indeed part of the URL, and should be entered as such

Sorry but it seems that I'm unable to explain myself. Update those file is easy, and I'd already done it. Fact is, the basic problems are in the configure script itself, because it does not check for Android system peculiarities such as: - the fact that in_addr_t is not defined in netinet/in.h but in arpa/inet.h - the fact that android kernels do not contain ethtool (which in any case wouldn't be useful, as android devices uses wireless not ethernet) - Android thread model (still searching if pthreads could be used...)
Thus what I'd need (if it is possible at all) is the configure.ac and Makefile.am used by autoconf/automake to produce the respective .in files.
Thanks again for your help
