Buildroot - Add user apps Problem

Hi,

I try to run Hippos - Buildroot topic 3174 step 11. Add user apps proted to uClinux ...

but after 
cd ~/uClinux-dist-test 
make menuconfig
I get this

Saving your kernel configuration...

*** End of Linux kernel configuration.

*** Check the top-level Makefile for additional cofiguration.

*** Next, you must run 'make dep'

************************ NOTICE **********************

There is no preset config for linux-2.6.x on Platform SnapGear/LITE300.

If you choose to continue you will have to setup a linux

config from scratch which is a very complex task.

You will find it easier if you can copy a conig.linux-2.6.x

from another platform that is similar.

If you know what you are doing press <ENTER> otherwise

Type^C to abort.

make: *** [menuconfig] Interrupt

Every example up to here runs fine (thanx to Hippo) with my Altera Cyclon Devboard. I&#39;m using SUSE (Novel) 9.3 and I&#39;m a absolut beginner with Linux ....

From / To where I have to copy a "preset config", as I look in the description it has to run without any interaction. Of course I do not like to setup from scratch ...

Thank you all in advance for your response.

    Hi Nepomuk,

    Welcome.

    It looks like the patches and config are wrong.

    Please make sure you have the uClinux-dist.diff unzipped from build.zip in ~/download dir.

    Then build uClinux-dist-test again with, 

    cd ~
rm -rf ~/uClinux-dist-test
tar jxf ~/download/uClinux-dist-test-20051209.tar.bz2
cd ~/uClinux-dist-test
patch -p0 <~/download/uClinux-dist.diff
touch ~/uClinux-dist-test/vendors/Altera/nios2nommu/inittab
make menuconfig

    In main menu, check

    Vendor/Product Selection ---> should be (altera), (nios2nommu)

    Kernel/Library/Defaults Selection ---> select only Customize Vendor/User Settings (NEW)

    <exit><exit>

    Do you wish to save your new kernel configuration?<yes>

    Next it will show Core Applications .... etc selections.

    <exit>

    Do you wish to save your new kernel configuration?<yes>

    Then 

    make subdirs
make romfs

    Hi Hippo,

    you were right - the "uClinux-dist-test" was not patched !!

    Thanks a lot for your help !
