makedev questions
Hello,
Just trying to get everything working again following recent changes in git. After the makedev change I have a couple of questions.
Should the default value for BR2_PACKAGE_MAKEDEVS not be y? Without it you get a rootfs without any device nodes. Or am I missing something?
Also am I right to think that TARGET_DEVICE_TABLE has been removed? There still appears to be a reference to it at package\busybox\initramfs.mk(106): echo "$(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin/makedevs -d $(TARGET_DEVICE_TABLE) $(BUILD_DIR)/initramfs"; \

No, BR2_PACKAGE_MAKEDEVS is for compiling makedevs to run on the target (unlikely to be interesting).
Don't you have build/host-makedevs built? It seems to work here.

Yes, it was removed in 64ec20e6c0 - Replaced by BR2_ROOTFS_DEVICE_TABLE.

That file isn't used anywhere - I've removed it now.

BR2_PACKAGE_MAKEDEVSis for compiling makedevs to run on the target (unlikely to be interesting).Don't you have build/host-makedevs built? It seems to work here.
Yes I do, just wasn't sure where I should be looking. Thanks

And you still don't get any device nodes in your filesystem? What fs type are you using?

Initramfs, but I have been having a few issues elsewhere, including problems rebasing. I think I have fixed them all now and have a clean build going, so hopefully will be all fixed.
