[Buildroot] adding libgphoto2

[Niall Parker]

Hello,

I've been using buildroot 2011.02 and was trying to libgphoto2 and was 
following the howto in the docs (also copying the libusb Config.in and 
.mk with tweaks). Unfortunately it wasn't a trivial task and it is 
complaining it needs libltdl ...

I have enabled libtool in the package selection but evidently the 
autoconf isn't finding it. Any suggestions on where to start ?

Thanks.

Can you share the current status of your patch, so that we can try to
help you starting from where you are ?

Thanks for the reply, took a little while to figure out generation of 
the patch (new to git, was working from released tarball) ... hopefully 
this is what you are looking for. Definitely not working yet, not 
finding the libltdl ...
