I'm wondering what step I've skipped. Attaching the Config.in and .mk file which I've created for my package. > Kindly help as I'm struck in this and unable to proceed. I've referred to the manual but unable to solve this issue. FTPCLIENT_INSTALL_TARGET should be YES, in capitals, else it will NOT install. (Actually, YES is the default so you can just remove that line). Maybe we should check that _INSTALL_TARGET etc. are either YES or NO. But I'm afraid that will make an empty make much slower again... So maybe there should be a 'make ftpclient-wtf-is-wrong-with-it' that does the checks :-) Regards, Arnout -- Arnout Vandecappelle arnout at mind be Senior Embedded Software Architect +32-16-286540 Essensium/Mind http://www.mind.be G.Geenslaan 9, 3001 Leuven, Belgium BE 872 984 063 RPR Leuven LinkedIn profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/arnoutvandecappelle GPG fingerprint: 7CB5 E4CC 6C2E EFD4 6E3D A754 F963 ECAB 2450 2F1F
