[Buildroot] can't resolve symbol 'atexit'

[anthony henderson]

Hi all
I've got busy box working well with my software, however I've tried to run
an exe provided by the board vendor and get the following error "can't
resolve symbol 'atexit'" is there a way to fix this?  It's a bit hard to
find details on google, I think it's to do with different versions of
uClibc?  However when I've opened buildroot and looked in toolchain ->
uClibc I can't see any options to do with atexit.  Can anyone point me in
the right direction, thanks.

You cannot expect a random binary taken from your vendor to work with a
random version/configuration of uClibc. Basically, you need to get the
source code for this application and recompile it with the toolchain
used to build your embedded system.

The uClibc library does not provide a stable ABI, both accross versions
and configurations.

Regards,

Thomas

Thanks,
I thought that might be the case, now to try to get them to give the
source...
