[Buildroot] Buildroot compilation error

[Buildroot] Buildroot compilation error

[Reinier Coetzer]

Hi all,

I want to cross-compile for my EBOX with a Vortex86SX CPU (
http://www.dmp.com.tw/tech/vortex86sx/).
The problem is that I have to use the 2.6.18.8 kernel as described by DMP. I
configured everything
with menuconfig, but I cant select kernel headers earlier than 2.6.21 for my
toolchain in menuconfig and I
have a feeling that is why I get the following error:

if [ -r System.map -a -x
/home/harry/Desktop/buildroot/build_i486/staging_dir/bin/i486-linux-depmod26
]; then
/home/harry/Desktop/buildroot/build_i486/staging_dir/bin/i486-linux-depmod26
-ae -F System.map -b
/home/harry/Desktop/buildroot/project_build_i486/Agritel/root -r
2.6.18.8-DMP; fi

I dont know what to change in order to avoid this error. I'm rather new to
kernel compilation so a detailed answer would be very much
appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Kind Regards

There's an extra 'gnu' being appended in the path:

I provided a patch yesterday to fix this, but haven't seen/heard a 
response. Here it is again, since there are a handful of packages 
affected by it.

[Buildroot] Problem building busybox

[Guillaume Dargaud]

Hello all,
I'm still learning the basics of buildroot, so please bear with me...

When I issue the general "make ARCH=ppc" I get the following error:

  CC      coreutils/yes.o
  AR      coreutils/lib.a
make[1]: Leaving directory 
`/home/guinevere/buildroot/project_build_ppc/genepy/b
usybox-1.9.1'
make: *** 
[/home/guinevere/buildroot/project_build_ppc/genepy/root/bin/busybox]
Error 2

But if I do the same "make ARCH=ppc" from 
project_build_ppc/genepy/busybox-1.9.1 then I get a clean compilation...

Can someone please explain the discrepancy ? Are they using different 
.configs ?

I made sure that BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_CONFIG="package/busybox/.config"
is identical to project_build_ppc/genepy/busybox-1.9.1/.config.

And BTW, what does Error 2 mean ?!?
/home/guinevere/buildroot/project_build_ppc/genepy/root/bin/busybox doesn't 
exist

Thanks

Thanks, I got your message after I posted my question, so it may have been 
delayed.

I see that the svn repository of buildroot is updated daily, so as a general 
rule how long before such a patch makes it into the tree ?

[...still fighting to get a first compile...]
