question on click

[Eddie Kohler]

Hi  Baris,

There are several ways to add an element to the Click router. There are two
easy ways, however. For both of them, you'll need to be dealing with the
Click-1.1b1 release or (even better) the anonymous CVS repository.

(1) Stick your elements in the elements/local directory. Patern-match the
source code with existing elements. For example, be sure to include an
EXPORT_ELEMENT(C++-class-name) statement in the .cc file.

Then, run ./configure with the --enable-local option.

(2) Take a look at the files in the etc/samplepackage directory. The
Makefile.in is self-documenting.

I would recommend you try (1) before (2).

Please let us know how it goes, and if you have any other questions!

love,
ed
