I tested building mtd 2.0.0-rc2 by using the autotools-package infrastructure. I have two remarks: 1/ zlib is only required by mkfs.jffs2 and mkfs.ubifs 2/ Buildroot offers the possibility to install the "integck" tool on the target. This is not covered by mtd, yet. Apart from those, the build works fine. Best regards, J?rg Krause
