Hi,
Is the task required for porting this Ping program is the same thing as porting the ifconfig in mini_ifconfig (included in Flips package)? Is there any documented tutorial (on porting apps to fiasco) or guide that I can starts with? For now, the Hello world program is the nearest practical clue that I have.
Thanks, karipap.

The basic building blocks should already be there. There is a C library (l4/pkg/uclibc), POSIX bindings are provided by the L4VFS and FLIPS provides you the opportunity to use a socket interface. So basically porting should consist of adapting some include paths and libraries.
For the ping utility you might also try to write a basic one on your own if you don't have an idea about socket programming yet.
