Message-ID: <72247.47890.qm@web121804.mail.ne1.yahoo.com> List-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: buildroot@busybox.net I'm new to buildroot, so I hope I don't cause any extra work on anyones behalf if I'm incorrect about these...I would just like to help participate to make this project better...so I thought I'd post what I've encountering so far. My host environment if a VMware Centos v5.5 system, and I've encountered a couple issues during building of the most current buildroot release. 1) When building ncurses it got hung up when running the terminfo compiler (tic). I let it run for over an hour, but decided to cancel it when top indicated it had already consumed >43 minutes of CPU time and was still not finished. 2) When building host-zlib-1.2.5 it failed during the make install phase it invokes install-libs, which attempted to copy (cp command) SHAREDLIBV (which was empty) and received a failure on the cp command due to only a single argument. I simply commented the line out and then the make of that component completed. 3) When configuring buildroot I checked off the item (in menuconfig) to build the uClibc tests. When it was building the tests it got a compile error (not sure now what file or error). I simply went back into the configure and unselected to build the tests and then it went past this. 4) When invoking /usr/bin/msgfmt it got a parse failure in ./de.po on the keyword "msgctxt". Not sure what it's building or how to get around this. I'm unable to complete the make process, so currently I dead in the water with this tool, and I'm not sure where to go from here with it. Perhaps it's my build environment? What Linux version has this been known to build without failures on? Hope this helps.
