If this is not the proper list for a SELinux compile question please direct me to a better list.
I'm trying to compile the "Option 3 - Everything but Kernel Source" code and am running into trouble compiling in utils/fileutils-4.0. I'm following the steps in the README file. All goes well until step 6 (Build and install the modified applications.)
I have made one deviation from the steps in the README. The system is very stripped down, so logrotate, openssh, stat, and vixie-cron are not on the system. I have eliminated these programs from the SUBDIRS line in the Makefile.
The first problem is that "make" fails because code in fileutils-4.0/aclocal.m4 is duplicated in fileutils-4.0/m4/isc-posix.m4. Inserting "dnl " in front of lines 519-527 of aclocal.m4 (i.e. commenting out the duplicated lines) appears to fix this problem. Is there a better solution?
The second problem is that "make" fails while running autoheader. Here is the error message:
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/selinux/utils/fileutils-4.0' cd . && autoheader
autoheader: No template for symbol 'const' autoheader: No template for symbol 'mode_t' autoheader: No template for symbol 'off_t' autoheader: No template for symbol 'size_t'make[1]: *** [stamp-h.in] Error 1
I'm not familiar with autoheader, so I'm having some difficulty diagnosing this problem. Any ideas?

My apologies to the list if there have been threads in the past on the
following question...
Has anyone worked on putting SELinux on embedded devices? Of course PDAs are by themselves inherently un-secure because of their portable nature but embedded devices that have wireless connections need high security as well.
If you know if any existing projects for embedded devices please let me know.
thanks,

This was discussed earlier on the thread starting at http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=selinux&m=97883795603704&w=2

These errors don't sound like they are related to SELinux, just general problems with autoconf - perhaps you need to upgrade your autoconf package. What is your base platform - is it RedHat 7.1? Can you build the ordinary fileutils source RPM that ships with your system?
