buildroot snapshot update 20060426

The buildroot snapshots will last for only one month.

The 20060320 as specified in build script no longer exist.

So we have to move to a newer snapshot.

Note if you have the toolchain working, there is no need to update.

edit build script, change line29 to "SNAPSHOT=20060426"

break from line44 of build script, just before make .

in ~/buildroot, do make menuconfig, disable c++ in toolchain option.

Then make, it will fail in busybox strip,

edit ~/buildroot/build_nios2/busybox/Makefile, comment out line306, do_strip.

make again.

restart from line45 of build script.

    Hi hippo,

    I&#39;m retrying with the updated version of your buildroot.

    Following your instruction, I cut from line 44 (including make) and pasted in a new file.

    I executed the build script, ok.

    In ~/buildroot/ I entered make menuconfig and this is what I&#39;ve got 

    $ make menuconfig
make -C package/config ncurses conf mconf
make: Entering directory `/home/MFM/buildroot/package/config&#39;
make: `conf&#39; is up to date.

    I&#39;m under FC5 and I installed and linked the gcc32.

    Have you installed the ncurses-devel package?

    Not even heard about, and the buildroot doesn&#39;t indicate that we must install it.

    Right, but I&#39;d bet that a fair number of systems out there have it installed, as part of the "development" installation option.

    make menuconfig certainly needs it.

    It is impossible to list all the packages required right down to the base ones... ncurses is a typical package, as well as ncurses-dev. All the menuconfig stuff uses ncurses, so I wouldn&#39;t be surprised if it&#39;s required.

    Hi,

    sorry guys, I forgot to thank you, so thanks, I installed the ncurses-devel package and things get fixed.
