[Buildroot] cannot find patches for mpfr package when buildroot

[jing han]

Hi All,

I experienced a problem when I make MIPS64 environment. Even if I disabled mpfr package, When I make, I still encountered the following error:

--10:10:47--  http://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-2.4.1/mpfr-2.4.1.tar.bz2

make: *** [/home/jhan/Desktop/buildroot-2009.05/dl/mpfr-2.4.1.patch] Error 1


The reason is: http://buildroot.net/downloads/sources//patches doesn't exist. I did find 

mpfr-2.3.0.patch but it's not in the above link, it's located in the link of:http://buildroot.net/downloads/sources//

that's why the make broke.

This happens since this week.

Can you tell me how to get around this problem?

Thank you in advance!

Best Regards
jing

It gets built (for the host) because it's needed by the toolchain.

mpfr.org is down. We have a fallback system where it will then try to
download from buildroot.net instead if that fails - Unfortunately this
doesn't work because the patch file is simply called patches on
mpfr.org and we rename it after download to mpfr-2.4.1.patch after
downloading.

I have fixed it by adding a patches -> mpfr-2.4.1.patch symlink on
buildroot.net - So it should work now.
