[Buildroot] How to include lsblk from linux-utils?

[jerry at chordia.co.uk]

Using BR 2016-02 how do I get lsblk installed? 

 

The source package is present but the utilities are not being built. I've
got System Tools >> install utilities selected but no lsblk is visible.

 

Thanks.

You need to add a patch like the below to be able to select lsblk in
your build:

diff --git a/package/util-linux/Config.in b/package/util-linux/Config.in
index 3f9a7db..d4f9a3d 100644

Excellent, that worked. Many thanks. Is this patch going into the next
release?

Glad to hear it worked. I've just submitted the patch, so unless anyone
has objections against it, it should be part of 2016.05 (it is too late
for 2016.02).

Best regards,

Thomas
