This repo contains the bare minimum needed to build the swconfig binary. All code is taken from OpenWRT project so their copyrights apply.
Install build dependencies
apt-get install git build-essential fakeroot devscripts debhelper libnl-3-dev libnl-genl-3-dev
As this utility talks to the switch driver in the kernel, kernel headers need to be in place and "switch.h" must be present otherwise the build will fail.
If this file is missing, copy it from here and save to /usr/include/linux/ on the build machine: https://github.com/openwrt-mirror/openwrt/blob/master/target/linux/generic/files/include/uapi/linux/switch.h
After all the above is done, clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/jekader/swconfig.git
cd swconfig
bash build.sh
dpkg -i ../swconfig_15.04-1_armhf.deb
Please read the upstream documentation on how to use this utility: http://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/techref/swconfig
The code is owned by OpenWRT Project and taken from here: https://github.com/openwrt-mirror/openwrt/tree/master/package/network/config/swconfig/src
Main difference from upstream: removed dependency of UCI and libnl-3 user instead of libnl-tiny
