[Buildroot] Error building buildroot r23768

[Adam McLaurin]

I am having problems building buildroot r23768 on both my home and work
Ubuntu boxes. I get the same error on both:

...
mkdir -p /home/irotas/sandboxes/buildroot/project_build_i686//root/etc
echo -svn23768

I've attached the complete output of 'make' if it's needed.

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?

Thanks,
Adam


P.S. The uClibc website has pre-compiled uClibc development systems, but
warns "that the images mentioned above are old". How old is "old"? Would
it really be terrible to just use one of these images?

It seems that this problem only occurs if you check out buildroot from
SVN (r23768). I tried the latest few snapshots and none exhibit this
behavior. Odd!

Can you be more specific please? What revision worked and what is your
.config?

Hi Peter,

I only found daily snapshots that work - I haven't gone back through SVN
revisions to find one that works.

That said, I can say for sure that at least buildroot-20081022.tar.bz2
works for me. I tried several others from the past month and they all
worked as well.

As for the configuration, at first I tried a customized configuration,
which failed, then I just used the default configuration generated from
'make menuconfig', which failed as well. I can provide the exact .config
generated by that if you need.

Thanks again,
Adam

But the daily snapshots are svn checkouts, so svn info should work.

Please do - I just tried a default build with trunk and it worked
here:

It's strange, this morning I checked out r23770 from SVN and the problem
seems to have disappeared. I am running on the exact same box with the
exact same environment and commands that I used yesterday evening.

Anyway, thanks for the help. I don't know what was wrong but at least it
seems to be working now.
