Thank for your knowledge... Really appreciate it, as I'm really new to all
these OLSRd thing and this is the first time I touch on C coding stuff...
So kinda confuse by certain command and stuff...
Oh my friend have an iPad and he is really interested in implementing olsrd
into it...
He try implementing it on his Mac which work fine...
However he is having trouble compiling it on iPad...
So perhaps some advice regarding this issue??
