[Buildroot] AT91RM9200df, some applications depend on libintl/libiconv

[Thomas]

Hello,

I am trying to create a "light" root file system for an AT91RM9200df
system with the latest 2009.02 buildroot release. So I disabled a lot of
the packages and libraries (for example libintl and libiconv) and got a
partly working root file system.

Some of the package applications do not work, because they seem to
depend on libintl/libiconv: wget, chattr, lsattr uuidgen, e2fsck, mke2fs
and badblocks for example. They terminate with "can't load library
'libintl.so.8'". These applications work, if I enable libintl and
libiconv, but I would like to save the 800 kB which where occupied by
libiconv.

Is this by design now, or did I configure something wrong, or is this a
buildroot problem? 

Thanks, Thomas.

Did you do a clean rebuild after doing this?

I take this is "big" wget, and not the busybox applet? I would be
suprised if wget/e2fsprogs could build with libintl support if you
don't have that enabled.

Any special reason why you don't use the busybox wget applet instead?

thank you for this pointer. I choose the "big" wget, because I was not
aware, that there is another "busybox" wget. It works now.

Thanks, Thomas.
