I'd like to install an application on openwrt called gnokii, which would interface with a cell phone over the com port to send and recieve text messages.

The gnokii project (www.gnokii.org) is very well documented with source code, however being such a noob, I'm a bit intimidated with trying to cross compile the whole thing. In looking around, though, I have found a binary that appears to have been compiled for a MIPSEL processor as part of a debian package. Is there any chance of that working on the wrt54g under openWRT, or am I way out in left field?

Thanks in advance,
Nathan

For what I know, it should be compiled using uclibc, not glibc which normal Linux distros use...

IMO cross compiling to openwrt is an easy task if it doesn't require hacking any makefiles, you should at least give it a shot.
