Error building curl for Edge Router Lite

[Stacey Son]

Hi Tom:

I don't remember the tweak I used to get curl to build but I have a bunch of "freebsd:10:mips:64:eb:n64" packages (including curl 7.31.0) at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/ctsrd/mips64-packages that I built using qemu bsd-user mode.  Use 'pkg'  and something like:

FreeBSD: {
  url: "pkg+http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/ctsrd/mips64-packages",
  mirror_type: "srv",
  enabled: yes
}

in /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf to 'pkg install'.

Also, there are a bunch of "freebsd:10:mips:64:eb:n64" and "freebsd:11:mips:64:eb:n64" packages at:

http://pkg.absolight.net/freebsd%3a10%3amips%3a64%3aeb%3an64/

and 

http://pkg.absolight.net/freebsd%3a11%3amips%3a64%3aeb%3an64/

respectively.

Also, if you are doing a bunch of package building using your ERL then you may want to add the following patches to the kernel (especially if you are using NFS):

http://people.freebsd.org/~sson/mips/kstack/kstack_large_page_1.diff
http://people.freebsd.org/~sson/mips/kstack/kstack_large_page_2.diff
http://people.freebsd.org/~sson/mips/kstack/kstack_large_page_3.diff

and add "option KSTACK_LARGE_PAGE" to the kernel config file.   This will increase the kernel thread stack size by using 16K sized pages.  The current kernel thread size is too small.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

-stacey.
