    Please enable only one apps at a time, to see which failed to make.

    Check the compile message. Lack of include file ?

    You can also try the same patches against stable release of uClinux-dist, which may have better result. I will change the buildroot guide and build script to use the stable one instead of test release.

    Hi Hippo,

    Thanks for hint.

    I was doing same what you have instructed.

    while doing "make romfs". it is going failed.

    The required ".config" file for ~/rootfs/etc for an apps is not so clear.

    Acknowledge me, when you will modify the buildroot guide steps.

    I compiled for busybox using step 14. it got hang with vfork in

    "~/uClinux-dist-test/user/busybox/networking/inetd.c: line766"

    with following error

    ***********************************************

    /home/goutam/uClinux-dist-test/user/busybox/networking/inetd.c:766: error: too few arguments to function `vfork_daemon_rexec&#39;
