I gave up on cygwin thinking that perhaps I was being an idiot, so I'm now trying Debian. I'm certainly getting further now, however I hit another snag. A completely fresh grab of buildroot from SVN this morning errors when trying to build busybox, the makefile says it is looking for Rules.mak in buildroot/build_powerpc/busybox/ Is this to do with the way I have configured things? I don't understand what it is trying to accomplish.

Thanks,

Peter

This seems to be an issue with the svn snapshots of busybox. Try deselecting "Use latest busybox snapshot" in the package configuration.

Should be fixes as of r16565.
