That's great, thanks for testing :)

Yes, you're right. efl can be build with a musl libc.

I've mainly tested this series with a glibc toolchain and I had a link issue
with a uClibc-ng toolchain due to missing mkstemps/mkostemps().

Before sending the series, I tried to build with a musl toochain and I had the
same issue with pulsaudio and give up. (hence this patches series [1])

Also, I've sent this patch [2] to the uclibc-ng mailing list to add missing
mkstemps/mkostemps().

Since then, I've successfully built enlightenment with a musl toolchain (not
runtime tested though).

But I'm wonder if I should remove BR2_PACKAGE_EFL_RECOMMENDED_CONFIG and make
sure that all recommended dependencies are mandatory. Because it's mainly
untested or even not built at all by efl maintainers.

So, ok I'll enable musl for the next respin.

Thanks will fix, but I haven't really tested without recommended config.

I haven't sent the complete series yet, just the bump of current efl related
packages.
I have pushed my working branch here, if you want to look at it:

https://github.com/RomainNaour/buildroot/tree/efl-1.14.2-v4

There is already a terminology package and more ;-)

Can you send a proper patch for this please ?

See the manual if needed:

You're welcome.

I hope you'll send a Tested-by and/or Reviewed-by tag for the next respin ;-)

Best regards,
Romain
