Problems rebuilding the DENX ELDK

[Steven Scholz <steven.scholz@imc-berlin.de>]

Hi there,

I am trying to rebuild the great DENX's ELDK from scratch.
My host is a SuSE 8.2 system.
The first obstacle is that some packages won't build with recent
automake/autoconf version. So I got some old versions built and
installed them on my system.

Now the first step - build the RPM - works. I do get a rpm binary in
/opt/eldk/build/ppc-2003-07-23/work/bin

But the next step - build the target RPM from eldt - fails:

The log shows:

+ CFLAGS=-O2 -march=i386 -mcpu=i686
+ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var
'--infodir=${prefix}/share/info' '--mandir=${prefix}/share/man'
--enable-shared=no --enable-static=yes --with-target-arch=ppc
creating cache ./config.cache
...

????


I am confused! 3.0.4 is the version of rpm that comes with SuSE 8.2.
But I thought ELDK builds the rpm with "--enable-static=yes". So why
is he asking for "rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1" ???

Thanks a million!

Steven
