2009.02-rc4 released

Hi,

Yes, I know I said I would cut the final 2009.02 release at FOSDEM, but as we had more than 50 changes since rc3 (and to critical stuff like toolchain/) I decided to do a rc4:

http://buildroot.uclibc.org/downloads/buildroot-2009.02-rc4.tar.gz

or

http://buildroot.uclibc.org/downloads/buildroot-2009.02-rc4.tar.bz2

Please give it a spin and report back issues to the mailing list or the bug tracker.

Is there anything that we absolutely need to fix for 2009.02? Unless I hear anything, 2009.02 will be released this Thursday.

Bye, Peter Korsgaard

I'm having a strange dependency problem with rc4 where it reinstalls gmp-4.2.2-host and recompiles mpfr-2.3.2-host every time I run make. Condensed transcript below.

- add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable during linking

Yes, sorry about that. The mpfr/gmp stuff was changed between rc3 and rc4 because the build was breaking on machines without mpfr/gmp shared objects (like Ubuntu) - Unfortunately some things were missing so you would have continous rebuilds.

It should all be fixed in svn now, could you give that a try (atleast r25295)?

Dear All,
I'm using ubuntu.
I just downloaded 2009.02, and met some error. What's the problem? How can I solve the issue? Thanks.

Hard to know with your locale, but it seems like you don't have the ncurses development package installed.

Bye, Peter Korsgaard

Well, my previous version, which I don't remember the exact version, about 1 year old, is OK with make menuconfig.

But this new version doesn't work. So I think there must be something else I have missed. Any ideas? Thanks

Can you run make menuconfig in any recent Linux kernel sources? We use the kconfig stuff from the kernel.

Does it work if you do export LANG=C before running make menuconfig?

Bye, Peter Korsgaard

Dear Peter,

Well, it's OK now.
2009.02 can't run with out libncurses5-dev support under ubuntu 8.10.

Maybe, it has been changed a lot from my previous version, which can execute "make menuconfig" with libncurses5-dev.

Thanks all the help.
