Compile errors during buildroot make

Dear all,

I am new to buildroot and trying to run it for the first time, I am also a fairly new linux user so I apologise for any naivety. I am attempting to make buildroot for a PowerPC on cygwin (x86 Win XP). I went with the default set of options (mostly, I added some things like bash to BusyBox) in menuconfig and then went on to make. I don't fully understand the make process but I will describe the problem as best I can. The compile errors occur during the build for uclibc, I *think* in buildroot/toolchain_build_powerpc/uClibc/utils/Makefile.in when it is executed by buildroot/toolchain/uClibc/uclibc.mk on line 149. The errors are gcc compilation errors when executing the command "gcc ../utils/readelf.c -o ../utils/readelf.host -Wl,-s -O2 -Wall -include ../include/elf.h". The root cause of the errors seems to be an inability to include "link.h" which is in the ../include directory, but there doesn't seem to be -I../include, but then, maybe there doesn't need to be, I don't know.

I'm not entirely sure what version of buildroot I checked out, but I checked it out yesterday at about 14:00 GMT. I suspect I'm not giving enough information here to be of any use, but I'm not sure what is most pertinent. If anyone can help, and needs some more info, please just let me know and I'll post it.

TIA,

Peter
