Thanks for the report! Can you try reverting commit
05576fca13b129da8c7186ee2307981135d3391f ? I believe it's the one that
introduced the problem.

Yann, are you sure that the nested double quotes are OK?

Thanks,

Thomas

sorry folks, i'm just starting to play with buildroot. It was just that 
there was a snapshot that I d/l and tried to run that found the problem 
so i'm not up to the stage of an actual build (running make) yet. I'm 
just working my way through the manual and docs.

Hi scsijon,

Thomas asked you to revert git commit 05576fca13b12, and see if it fixes your 
problem. No need to build anything for that.

If you can't revert the git commit you can make an equivalent change by 
commenting out the line

  br2_ext="$( cd "${br2_ext}"; pwd )"

in support/scripts/br2-external.

Ok, then please use the latest release (2016.11.1):

[scsijon]

Thanks, I have already d/l that but I will need linux 4.10.x for this>

http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/tablets/lenovo/yoga-book/yoga-book-windows/?menu-id=yoga_book_windows

and 4.9.4 was the latest you had via the snapshot.

Think of an ordinary Touchscreen Pen Tablet (like the samsung S2 pen) 
with a Wacom Cintiq 13 instead of just a keyboard/touchpad attached.

4.10 series will apparently have the extra settings to keep the two sets 
of screens, touch pen positions and sensativity levels separate so you 
can use the pen on both (multiple) screens. It's just only one has the 
ability to work multiple pressure levels at present(in 4.9.x) with 
multiple touchscreens.

I've ordered the android version for now to play with, as the windows 
version is currently unavailable in Australia where I live, but rather 
than just rootkit'ing it and going from there, I want to eventually 
build a complete standalone and portable linux system for our 
CAD'ers/artists/comic creators/mangaka/etc in linux rather than them 
being stuck with windows $packages as is at present.

A friend who's involved with CAD and Drawing Software is working on a 
version to work with these extra functions. I just have to get 'my bit' 
up and running, else there will only be a windows version released.

Anyway i'll play with 2016.11.1 for now, learn from that too see if it's 
useable for what we need, and see what happens when you go to 4.10.x.

scsijon

Ok, but 4.10 isn't released yet, so also not available in git head. You
can still use the 2016.11.1 release and configure a toolchain with
E.G. 4.9 headers and then build linux from upstream git
(E.G. ~4.10-rc4).

Yes, they are OK. Besides, line 111 is not the one that was changed in
that commit. Line 111 is:

    BR2_EXT_NAMES+=( "${br2_name}" )
