  See 'diff --help':

   -N, --new-file                  treat absent files as empty

  You also want the -u option to diff, that gives much more readable output.
Also the -p option is very useful: it gives the current 'function' as context.
In this case it doesn't matter, but it's good to know in general.  So:

diff -Nrup . ../../....


  Please remove the wview-5.20.2.tar.gz file first, though.

  BTW, is there anything wrong with the readline library and zlib library already
available in buildroot?
