HTTP should be more firewall friendly.

Hello!

When i try to build this package for target system, i get this error (at configuration time).

..
checking for strspn... yes
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for LIBDAEMON... yes
configure: error: missing --with-initdir=DIR
..

I think that this is little mistake in related Makefile, but i don't know that means option --with-initdir
in this case.

Best regards!
Evgeny Startsev.

[Bug 2875] New: Kernel doesn't build Ext2 support out-of-the-box

Because kernel doesn't build Ext2 support out-of-the-box if you choose i386 for
default config you can use iso-image without minor tuning of kernel .config
file. This should work like initrd thing.

BR2_VERSION missing in .config BR 2010.11

Hi,

I use BR2 version 2010.11. When I just extract the stable version and run
"make menuconfig", change nothing and save the config, the BR2_VERSION
string is missing in .config file.

Please see: git log 2d239bb..75efd6b

Where and how do you use BR2_VERSION ?

Created attachment 2749
  --> https://bugs.busybox.net/attachment.cgi?id=2749
Don't copy shared libraries to the target dir if BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB defined

Hello

Buildroot version: 2010.11

I tried to build minimal busybox-only project for using as initramfs. I use
external buildroot toolchain. The buildroot copy the .so libraries from
external toolchain to the target dir unconditionally. But I build busybox
statically and don't need shared libraries (the size of resulted image is too
big with unneeded libraries).

The attached patch use BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to find out if the project prefer
static linking and if the static linking is preferred don't copy shared
libraries to the target dir.

Help - Buildroot-2010.11 Don't know what changed

Hi,
I am working with the 2010.11 release on a PC-104 Geode LX w/Compact
Flash card. Fedora 14.

I built a minimal system with all the defaults, no external toolchain:

Kernel = 2.6.36.1
uClibc = .9.31.x with .9.31.x.config file
Busybox = 1.17.x with 1.17.x.config file
gcc = 4.3.x
bootloader selected = grub

I have not added any files/applications to be built, so all that is
being built is the toolchain, kernel, grub and busybox.  Everything
downloads and builds fine!

The problem is when I copy to flash and boot the system it comes up as
read-only!  I copy things to the flash as root and preserve all
permissions, etc.  I've looked at the mailing list and long ago the
threads said to have the entry in inittab remount the filesystem as RW
and it should correct the problem.  The issue is my default inittab
file has this entry in it so I don't understand why I am seeing this.

If I execute the command manually from the command line after logging
in, it mounts the filesystem back as RW just fine.  Also, if I include
a "rw" on my kernel line in grub.conf the filesystem comes in as RW.

Is this a busybox issue?  I am using all buildroot defaults.  Any
thoughts or ideas of things I can check?

Thanks in advance,
Chris

I'm not sure, but it sounds like a kernel default behavior. On my
2.6.23 is boot nfs readonly unless I add "rw" to the kernel command
line.
Haven't you changed the kernel config file ?

Hi Lionel,
Yes, I have a modified kernel (2.6.32.14) config file that I have been
using from my beginning with buildroot starting with the 2010.05 and
08 releases.  I basically am using that config file and then answering
N to all the deltas when buildroot/linux kernel detects the
differences in the config file between the releases and prompts me
before the kernel build.  I am configuring for NFSv3 in the kernel but
am not asking buildroot to build nfs-utils at this time if you think
that might make a difference here.  Although, I am hard pressed to see
where NFS comes in as it's not even being started at bootup time.  I
didn't see anything in my kernel config building about setting up a
read-only filesystem.  Are you thinking something is buried in my
kernel config?

Maybe, but I am running on buildroot 08 without this problem.
Although, I am building all my app packages under that one and maybe
something is overriding it and masking the original problem???

Chris
