I will add here a list of things that BREAK with the 2006q3 TC OOTB

WHY WOULD YOU BOTHER DOING THIS???

Well, Buildroot allows us to create staged sections to each build, meaning that once I have each of these packages built - I can go back an cherry pick which stage to tweak, what Makefile etc...

Basically I also didnt want anyone else to have to try a package only to find it broken.

So there you go, 16 hours later here's the info.

The Deathlist:

Spoiler:

gdb 7.4.x - won't build. 7.2 will.

linphone. because it calls ORTP which won't build. (heh, I made a funny)

libgtk2 dies with a recursion error (that's the theme for many of these fails IIRC)

Webkit because it calls libgtk2
(you can apply this principle to all 'RELIES ON blah' packages)

MPD Will pull Glib2 - that needs testing. Currently elided.

ltp-testsuite - dies with 'CAP_LAST_CAP' undeclared (Symbol issue again)

lttng-modules-2.0.3 - dies with a long string of errors

qt 4.8.2: Dies with futex.h:96: error: 'u32' was not declared in this scope
That's a futex header issue I believe. Input taken on that issue.
I did apply the fix knc1 mentioned first.

rt-tests dies with cyclictest.c:906: error: 'SCHED_BATCH' undeclared (first use in this function) (Symbol issue again probably based on a lack of RT in the kernel. pointless tool anways... Bit bucket methinks)

util-linux 2.20.1 - Dies since UUIDD dies.

../libblkid/src/.libs/libblkid.so: undefined reference to `fdopendir'
../libblkid/src/.libs/libblkid.so: undefined reference to `faccessat'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[4]: *** [mkswap] Error 1

U-boot Tools - Dies

fw_env.c:43:27: error: mtd/mtd-user.h: No such file or directory
possibly an incorrect depend

unionfs 0.25 -

 unionfs.c:661: error: 'AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW' undeclared (symbols)

mplayer dies:

 l -rdynamic  -lm  
ffmpeg/libavcodec/libavcodec.a(h264dsp_init_arm.o): In function `ff_h264dsp_init_neon':

host-lua 5.1.5 Building -

ldebug.o: In function `addinfo':
ldebug.c:(.text+0x1822): undefined reference to `__stack_chk_fail_local'

luajit 2.0.0-beta10

Building - lj_arch.h:224:2: error: #error "Need at least GCC 4.2 or newer"

(not sure what that error means hmm, so cryptic)

libv4l -

l.cpp   ivtv-ctl.c: In function 'main':
ivtv-ctl.c:510: error: 'VIDEO_GET_FRAME_COUNT' undeclared

BOOST: A general purpose C++ library

...failed updating 3 targets...
make[1]: *** [/home/simon/BLDS/buildroot/build/boost-1.49.0/.stamp_staging_installed] Error 1

liburcu 0.7.3

test_urcu_timing.o: In function `thr_writer':
/home/simon/BLDS/buildroot/build/liburcu-0.7.3/tests/test_urcu_timing.c:159: undefined reference to `__sync_lock_test_and_set_4'

KMOD: handle kernel modules (which is already in the device)

libkmod/libkmod-config.c:546: error: 'O_CLOEXEC' undeclared

That's actually quite a short list considering the 7 year old toolchain, and much of it revolves around a known issue. Gotta love BR.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Okay onwards. Here is
a complete list of everything I EXCLUDED:

Not built: (implicitly excluding the above stuff that died obviously)

These packages were not included in the build - They either were pointless given the hardware - outdated or duplicated - or relied on something that currently can't build, or for some other ineffable reason I didn't like the cut of their gib.

BUSYBOX
