sorry, I didn't work on buildroot for a long time. I can't remember the details, too.
Please try remove the old dirs, and try again.

hi hippo, i was away for few months and found lots of updates.

in uclinuxdist:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>

(Or you can build the cross compiler from sources with BuildrootGuide , but it might be difficult for beginner)[/b]
--- Quote End ---

in buildrootguide:
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>
--- Quote Start ---
NOTE, the build script below does not handle build error and rebuild. You must edit it or remove old build. The patches should be applied only once. This page contains OUT OF DATE informations. You should use UClinuxDist instead.[/b]
--- Quote End ---

now my question is, if i wanna build everything from scratch, should i follow the buildrootguide?

2nd thing:
i keep bumping into this error:
... CC net/ipv4/fib_hash.o CC net/ipv4/proc.o CC net/ipv4/tcp_bic.o LD net/ipv4/built-in.o LD net/built-in.o GEN .version CHK include/linux/compile.h UPD include/linux/compile.h CC init/version.o LD init/built-in.o LD vmlinux /opt/nios2/bin/nios2-linux-uclibc-ld.real:arch/nios2nommu/kernel/vmlinux.lds:448: ignoring invalid character `#' in expression /opt/nios2/bin/nios2-linux-uclibc-ld.real:arch/nios2nommu/kernel/vmlinux.lds:448: parse error make: *** Error 1 make: Leaving directory `/home/jwlam/uClinux-dist/linux-2.6.x' make: *** Error 1

the make passed if i edit vmlinux.lds to use /*...*/ instead of //... but is thr anything wrong with it?

thx.

Yes, there are some updates.
You should not use the build script in buildroot guide. You should change it and build cross gcc/uclibc only. Then use uClinux-dist to build kernel and apps.

Maybe you should put away the buildroot for a while.
Please use the binary tools and the uClinux-dist-20060803 with patches in the wiki.

thx for your reply.

using binary tools also have the weird errors above. however, i notice that the zimage is created before romfs. i think this is not supposed to happen (is it?), thus, i make twice, first time to make all the changes above and 2nd one to update the zimage. now the image is bootable.

do i have to run 'make romfs' everytime i configure the kernel?
as in:
make vendor_hwselect..., make menuconfig, make romfs, make, make linux image?
or juz:
make vendor_hwselect..., make menuconfig, make, make linux image?

make vendor_hwselect..., make menuconfig, make romfs, make,make, make linux image

The first "make romfs" is needed only to create the romfs dir, (mostly empty).
It is not needed afterward.

The first "make" may fail, if you have "Hyper-thread" or "Dual core" PC.
The next "make" will success.

But the initramfs may be empty, it was before real romfs generation.
The final "make linux image" will update the initramfs. You can use "make" as the final, but it is slower.

After the first successful boot image, you may change kernel or apps
make menuconfig,make,make linux image

You don't need make vendor_hwselect again, unless you change the ptf.
If you change ptf, then you need make clean, and start over from make vendor_hwselect.
