[Click] Build Clicky with non-root permissions?

[Bart Braem]

Hi Eddie,

I checked out a fresh git, configured Click there and ran make.
Then I went to apps/clicky, and ran autoreconf -i
Then I ran ./configure --prefix=/pathtoclickinstall
The resulting error:

'/pathtoclickinstall/share/click/config.mk' not found.
Are you sure '/pathtoclickinstall' is a Click install directory?

And of course share/click/config.mk does not exist in that map...


For click-pretty, I would like to have the element names like this:
r::RatedSource -> gone::Discard;
would produce the "r" and the "gone" names in the dot file. That way it is easier to track elements in large configurations, like the ones we produce with firesim. Would that be possible somehow?

cheers,
Bart
