Well, I did the start from scratch, make update thing and tried it again...

I ran into this error :

make[4]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/eros/src/base/cross/bin/mkimage'
make[4]: *** No rule to make target `-lbfd', needed by `mkimage'.  Stop.
make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/eros/src/base/cross/bin/mkimage'
*** RECURSIVE BUILD STOPS ***

If we visit the directory and look at the Makefile we find the following line in it :

LIBS+= $(EROS_ROOT)/cross/lib/libzlib.a -lbfd -liberty

I'm assuming it should be :

LIBS+= $(EROS_ROOT)/cross/lib/libzlib.a $(EROS_XENV)/lib/libbfd.a \

$(EROS_XENV)/lib/libiberty.a

So I tried that, and saw a most happy thing :-)

../../../build/lib/make/erosinstall -d /usr/local/src/eros/domain
../../../build/lib/make/erosinstall -m 644 nfile.map /usr/local/src/eros/domain
../../../build/lib/make/erosinstall -m 755 nfile /usr/local/src/eros/
domain

make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/eros/src/base/domain/nfile'
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/eros/src/base/domain'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/eros/src/base'

No errors - rock and roll.

Now I'm off to figure out what exactly it is I'm trying to build. Must be a boot disk image, or something, right ?

I'm trying to catch-up on all those build e-mails.

Hope this helps.

Brian

P.S. Can't wait to see "apt-get install eros" !
