padavan/entware compile success,but bin doesnt work about sexpect

[uuxxcccc]

Done, mipsel binaries already in Entware, arm/x86 binaries will arrive later.

Please, provide a feedback about it, I just tested binaries on target system with no any scripts.

It works! Even poor scripts work well!

Could you help try /opt/bin/sexpect -help and see if it works?

No, it doesn't work. As you can also see from the text up there from line7 to line8.
Additionally, I paste here the 'control' file from 'ipk' package out of the "Entware build environment", and the 'control' file from ipk file out of an "OpenWRT compile environment" which I have also compiled and successfully installed on a mipsel OpenWRT router and it runs as it is designed.

control file from OpenWRT env.

Package: sexpect
Version: 2.2.2-2
Depends: libc
Source: package/utils/sexpect
SourceName: sexpect
License: GPL-3.0
Section: utils

Installed-Size: 17210
Description:  Sexpect is another implementation of Expect.

control file from Entware env.

Another difference is that there are 3 files in "control" folder of the ipk of OpenWRT env. , while only 1 of Entware env.

OpenWRT:

├─bin
│      sexpect
│      sexpect_ssh.sh
│
└─CONTROL
        control
        postinst
        prerm

Entware:

├─bin

│      sexpect_ssh.sh
│
└─CONTROL
        control

Padavan--H大,up to date version.
Entware--https://github.com/Entware/Entware
Compile environment--VMware Ubuntu, up to date version.
git from lieonal openwrt, and git from Entware.

I know nothing about the packaging system. :(

For my OpenWRT 18.06.4 (on Netgear R6220) I cross compiled sexpect on a Debian system and copied the executable to the router.

[clarkwang]

To me it's weird that which sexpect outputs /opt/bin/sexpect but it cannot run. Just to be sure, what's the output of ls -l /opt/bin/sexpect? That's to say, does the file really exist and is it executable?

[uuxxcccc]

By searching and assuming, I tested the following.
It seems on "H大/Padavan/Asusware", there miss some dependencies, for this sexpect mipsel-3.4, probably cause it looks up in /lib dir. , while proper way for padavan linux is to look up in /opt/lib, where adequate libs are prepared there.
Maybe in source code, there are absolute paths of library links?

another hour of self-learning, I guess the makefile is the root.
i got this file from BBS.
Writer took it fine, for OpenWrt.
How to modify this "makefile", for Entware/Padavan?

I have made an issue in project Entware, asking for help to add your sexpect program in Entware repo.

Perhaps it would also be a help to have another one's support to this issue(ask for adding sexpect into repo. of entware). Owner of project Entware would like to have a request supported by one or more users.

Done, mipsel binaries already in Entware, arm/x86 binaries will arrive later.

Please, provide a feedback about it, I just tested binaries on target system with no any scripts.

Thank you. ipk file, downloaded from repo., works fine on my newifi_y1/padavan. I will test this package, and give comment!
