custom kernel issue

custom kernel issue

[Guylhem Aznar]

Hello

I'm using a tarball of the specific version running on some embedded
linux hardware ; this is set up in the menus and everything, but the
build fails with the latest version pulled from mercurial

In build.log :

[INFO ]  Retrieving needed toolchain components' tarballs
[DEBUG]    ==> Executing: 'ln' '-sf'
'/Volumes/Crosstools/Fritzbox.src/GPL-release_kernel.tar.gz'
'/Volumes/Crosstools/crosstool-ng/.build/src/linux-custom.tar.gz'
(...)
[INFO ]  Extracting and patching toolchain components
[WARN ]    'linux-custom' not found in
'/Volumes/Crosstools/crosstool-ng/.build/tarballs'

Solved by:
ln -sf ../src/linux-custom.tar.gz .

(or so I guess because it has been extracting and patching for 10
minutes instead of failling fast)

It's a possible regression over version 1.11.4 because I don't
remember having that issue then.

Ah, thanks for spotting this. Care to test the attached patch (you have to
start from a clean dir, though), please?

Will do tomorrow, because starting from a clean state takes some time.
I'm going back home now :-)

PS: Another one : state restore fails with :
[INFO ]  Restoring state at step 'cc', as requested.
[00:05] / zcat:
/Volumes/Crosstools/crosstool-ng/.build/mips-osx-linux-uclibc/state/cc/log.gz.Z:
No such file or directory

That's a strange one, .gz.Z :-)

Likewise, copying the .gz to .gz.Z fixed that however.

PS: A 3rd one : for uclibc
./.build/mips-osx-linux-uclibc/build/build-libc-headers/extra/scripts/install_headers.sh,
"find" should be replaced by "find ." which works both on OSX and
Linux
