Topic: Has anyone built spiped for OpenWrt?

I'm a little bit surprised that this utility hasn't found its way to a package, and google comes up empty on home-brewed custom packages.

I've looked into it a bit and at first glance it looked simple.  However, one of the first steps the Makefile takes is it runs a script to detect cpu feature support and I'm not quite sure how to handle that in a cross-compiled environment.

It's also configured to build on BSD, but there's a Posix Makefile that looks identical to the Debian package Makefile so I'm guessing that would run OK.  My initial package just copies Makefile.Posix to Makefile before executing make.

Any thoughts or insight?  Thanks in advance...

Turns out everything builds fine, all makefiles just have to be converted to POSIX from BSD.  I'm really surprised this hasn't been done to date, this seems like a really useful (and simple) method to easily add encryption to network connections.

For posterity, here is my crude package just waiting for a volunteer maintainer.  smile
