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 :-)
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" !
