===== Building MacGated for BeagleBone Black =====

Do these steps directly on the BeagleBone Black for easier setup.

==== Download the packages to install: ====

    * [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/netatalk/files/netatalk/2.2.5/|netatalk 2.2.5]]
    * [[http://sourceforge.net/p/macgated/code/ci/master/tree/|MacGated updated for modern kernels]]

==== Install prerequisites: ====

<file>
sudo apt-get install libdb5.1-dev libwrap0-dev
</file>
==== Build libatalk: ====

We have to build libatalk (included with netatalk) which is a static library that MacGated needs. You can still use Ubuntu's distribution of netatalk 2.2.x with the final setup, but we're going to have to build our own libatalk.

=== Apply patch: ===

- In include/atalk/acl.h on line 56, change "#define O_NETATALK_ACL" to "#define O_NETATALK_ACL 0"

=== Actually build it: ===

<file>
cd netatalk-2.2.5
./configure --enable-ddp
cd libatalk
make
</file>

The "make" command takes a while to complete, especially since you're doing it directly on the BBB. Technically it's possible to cross-compile, but getting library dependencies ready would be a huge pain.


==== Build MacGated: ====

The Makefile will need to be patched to point to your built libatalk. In these example changes, assume that the netatalk source directory "netatalk-2.2.5" is at the same level as the macgated source directory.

=== Patch the Makefile ===

Add this line at the top:

<file>
LIBDIRS=-L../netatalk-2.2.5/libatalk/.libs
</file>

Add to CFLAGS:

<file>
-I ../netatalk-2.2.5/sys -I ../netatalk-2.2.5/include
</file>

Now build it:

<file>
make
</file>

This should give you all the binaries you need! Check out the "init" script for details about how to use it.
