Hi,

it seems there is a bug in some header file in gnutls 3.5.17 .
Platform: Ubuntu 17.10 up-to-date on x86_64
Target: orange-pi-zero + systemd

Please read below an excerpt of the output:

--- Comment #1 from Peter Seiderer <ps.report@gmx.net> ---
The cited config.log fragment is unrelated to the shown error (1), please
try:

    $ make clean
    $ make

And if the error shows up again please provide your .config/defconfig file (see
http://nightly.buildroot.org/manual.html#reporting-bugs) and/or the complete
build/gnutls-3.5.17/config.log file...

(1) not all errors in config.log lead to an configure error, there are
many/hundreds of tests in there...

Hi Peter, thank you for looking into this.
I tried to install buildroot on another machine, but the error is the same.

Perhaps a better spot can be:

[...]

. Anyway I've attached the buildroot .config, the linux kernel .config and the
config.log.

Thank you,

Yes, this config.log location was the real failure reason.

The hints to the solution are:

- checking how to run the C++ preprocessor... cpp
- configure:49488: result: cpp

Your toolchain is missing C++ support (and the gnutls packages is missing
the C++ dependency), the following buildroot config change fixed the
failure for me:

    $ diff -u .config.old .config

Hi Peter,

thank you very much, your solution works and I've been able to generate the

Thank you very much again for your time.
