Why does it need to install into staging? It's a program and not a
library, right?

Out of interest, what does PKG_DEVLIB_DIR do and why don't we pass it
for TARGET?

It does not. This is a bad copy/paste. I made this patch too quickly.

Same remark, I'll fix it and submit a new patch.

We generally want the URL of the project here in the help text. See
what we do for all other packages.

Looking at the configure.ac from ZNC, it seems like the OpenSSL and
Perl support is optional, and can be disabled using --disable-openssl
and --disable-perl. It would probably be a good idea to use these to
make these dependencies optional.

Also, your znc.mk should have ZNC_LICENSE and ZNC_LICENSE_FILES
defined. Look at the Buildroot manual for details about these.

Thanks for your contribution!

Thomas

When I try to enable perl, configure fails. It uses the perl executable to
generate LDFLAGS but it does that with "my" executable (/usr/bin/perl) and then
tries to link with /usr/lib/perl5/core_perl/CORE/libperl.so which of course
fails.

For python, configure programs can use ./output/host/usr/bin/python2.7 but I
can't find the same for perl. I only find perl compiled for my target.

How can I fix this?

Do you plan on resending an updated version of your ZNC package? You
received some comments on January 5th, but we haven't received a new
version.

This new package would be an appreciated contribution, but if you want
to see it accepted, you should resend regularly new versions that take
into account the review comments made by the other Buildroot developers.

Thanks a lot!

Thomas
