all my .config files from 'make saveconfig'

this is absolutely a showstopper for me. i seem to have continuous problems building util-linux with several of the past buildroot releases - if nobody else is having these problems, maybe it's something about my build environment?

a google search shows that these errors might result from large file support not being turned on, but it definitely is.

please let me know if there's anything else i can supply to help troubleshoot this

[Buildroot] [Bug 635] util-linux fails to build in 2009.08

https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=635

--- Comment #1 from igor <[email protected]> 2009-09-30 10:05:48 UTC --- according to a conversation @
http://ibot.rikers.org/%23uclibc/20031113.html.gz, adding

#include <fcntl.h>

to swapon.c seems to fix half the problem - the part about R_OK undeclared. This still leaves the other half:

swapon.c:86: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 'swapon' swapon.c:86: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 'path' swapon.c:86: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 'flags' swapon.c:88: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 'swapoff' swapon.c:88: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 'path'

I haven't been able to reproduce it here atleast.

furthermore I do a couple of commands like cd .. , cd - (or I wait sometime ?!), do a make , and make forget this package and go to the finish , but never built the more binary and others.

linux/a.out.h seems to belongs to kernel headers and I don't have a kernel cross-compiled. which make more.c depends on kernel-headers, because needs 3 constants ?! OMAGIC NMAGIC ZMAGIC.

I got a CPU "core i5", which I can compile this in more or less one hour , I need do 2 or 3 times :
make flush
make

Yes, kernel headers are seperate from building a kernel for your target.

linux/a.out.h is a legacy header (for the a.out format), which is only available on the following archs:

ls arch/*/include/asm/a.out.h ~/source/linux-2.6
arch/alpha/include/asm/a.out.h arch/m68k/include/asm/a.out.h
arch/arm/include/asm/a.out.h arch/x86/include/asm/a.out.h

So that won't work on mipsel.

I'll see what we can do about it.

--- Comment #8 from Thomas Petazzoni <[email protected]> --- I have added a fix for the util-linux build failure on MIPS reported in this bug to my for-2010.08 branch. See
http://git.buildroot.net/~tpetazzoni/git/buildroot/commit/?h=for-2010.08&id=55f70939b839cd5ad826ea01fcb6d363d63ee15d.

This branch will be pushed to Peter before the 2010.08 release.
