I am trying to install ez-ipupdate. This will allow me to use dynamic dns from home. The configure went okay. When I did make the following errors occured:

make

Hoping you can give me some insight.

You can download it here
There are example config files at /etc/ez-ipupdate

okay I did an install of package. Thanks for doing that, but I would like to know what the error message was saying. That way I learn and the next time can solve it myself.

thanks again - just great support from you.

The file I uploaded was an already compile package from slackware 9, but ez-ipupdate has nothing special and it's an old program to recompile...
If you like to recompile it your self, just for the fun of it...
replace in conf_file.c

extern int errno;
with
#include </usr/include/errno.h>

and do

thanks for the mentoring

And here a slackbuild for not messing up your system.

bear with me for being dense:

does this build just build a package and then you have to install it?

Or does it install it as well?

[gerasimos_h]

Just build the package, you 'll have to install it yourself with 'installpkg' command.
If you change
make install DESTDIR=$PKG
to
make install
and remove the rest of the lines bellow you will have a script that install the package only.
It's wise to create packages, it's easier to manage applications that way.

thanks. That's what I thought but just now learning to read scripts. I definitely see why it makes since to create a package.

thanks again
