Re: busybox 1.19.2 fails to compile mtd-utils

Hi Jurgen,

Thanks for the patch.  I'll try to get that in as time permits.

Please send your UBU and I'll try to get that in too.

Please post your imx27pdk, maybe someone else on the list would have
time to clean it up and re-submit it.  Even if not, it could be helpful
to others.

Regards, Stuart

This adds UBI support.
Mark: you need a recent mtd-utils on your PC (=host)! I compiled it 
myself: v1.4.6.
And also the mtd-utils on the target be recent if you want to run ubi 
commands in linux, e.g. ubiupdatevol!
So I first cross-compiled mtd-utils 1.4.6 (already mailed it), but now I 
just use the mtd-utils tools inside busybox. It does not have ubinfo, 
but the necessary tools are there and work.

Enjoy,
Jürgen

how to get putenv from glibc compiled?

Hello,

I need 'putenv' (so busybox-dhcpc can pass the ntp server IP to the ntp 
client) on my target.
Putenv is in glibc, but in my built, it is not present.

Does anybody know which options to enable (do I need e.g. libc static 
libraries CONFIG_PKG_LIBC_WANT_STATIC_LIBS)?

Kind regards,
Jürgen

Re: how to get putenv from glibc compiled?

Hi Jürgen,

I'm not sure I understand this question?

putenv is supported by glibc, you'd need to call this library functions
from a C program.

If you want to set en environment variable you should be able to do this
from the she with

SOMEVAR=xxx
export SOMEVAR

Please give some more detail of what you're trying if this does not help.

Re: busybox 1.19.2 fails to compile mtd-utils

Hi Jurgen,

Thanks for the patches, I've uploaded the content to the GPP and updated
CVS.

When I can get to it, I'll look at adding your other UBI patches.

glibc uses wrong path to toolchain headers (in my ARM case)

Hello,

from 'dist/lfs-5.1/glibc/glibc.spec':
# Use the toolchain headers as the default for the glibc build unless the
# BSP kernel headers have been selected.
if [ "${GLIBC_WANT_KERNEL_HEADERS}" = "y" ]
then
     TC_HEADERS_DIR="${DEV_IMAGE}/usr/src/linux/include"
else
     TC_HEADERS_DIR="${TOOLCHAIN_PATH}/${OPT_CFGHOST}/libc/usr/include"
fi

In my case, this is wrong, and it should be 'sysroot' instead of 'libc':
     TC_HEADERS_DIR="${TOOLCHAIN_PATH}/${OPT_CFGHOST}/sysroot/usr/include"

Is this a general error? Then I can submit a patch.

FYI:
- the complete (wrong) path: 
TC_HEADERS_DIR=/opt/freescale/usr/local/gcc-4.1.2-glibc-2.5-nptl-3/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc/usr/include
- I noticed this only because I changed the option "C library package" 
from the default "from toolchain only" (CONFIG_CHOICE_BASE_LIBS) to 
"glibc" (CONFIG_CHOICE_GLIBC)
- now the compile goes on, but I get this error:

sudo /opt/ltib/usr/bin/rpm --root /usr/src/cross/Ltib-svn/rootfs 
--dbpath /var/lib/rpm --prefix / --ignorearch -ivh --force --excludedocs 
--noscripts --define '_tmppath /tmp/ltib' 
/usr/src/cross/Ltib-svn/rpm/RPMS/arm/base_libs-1.2-1.arm.rpm

Hi Jurgen,

The issue is that somewhere along the process of saving the attachment 
and uploading it, the encoding of the  author got messed up (UTF-8).

Because you  already had the named file, ltib downloaded the md5 file 
for the (modified) file and they didn't match.

What I need to do is to re-upload the file once I figure out where the 
corruption occurred.  I will use a new name 
busybox-1.19.2-ubi-user-h-1.patch to avoid any issues with people who 
have already downloaded this version with the bad author encoding (which
