I've been trying all day to do a make as part of buildroot. I keep = getting a failure connecting to the ftp site uk.linux/org. I am able to = ping the resolved ip address of 194.150.253.141. I've done this make = sucessfully many times over the past few days. Anyone else having this problem?

All the tarballs which the buildroot tries first to download from somewhere else are also available from http://files.gumstix.com/ -- you can grab the package in question from there, and put it in buildroot/dl and then it'll be OK C On Apr 7, 2006, at 1:18 PM, Warren Loomis wrote: > I've been trying all day to do a make as part of buildroot.

The files arrive as <name>.tar.tar, rather than the expected = <name>.tar.bz2. Will make deal with this difference? Is there any way to figure out in advance what the list of tarballs will = be, so I do not have to get them one at a time? Do I simply put the tarballs in ./dl, and then do a make? If I want to start again from scratch, using the tarballs that I assume = stay in dl, what do I do to clean things up? Sorry about all the questions. Is there a place I can go to find out = about this stuff, so I do not have to bother you?

No it won't deal with renamed files -- why are you renaming the files though? > Is there any way to figure out in advance what the list of tarballs > will be, so I do not have to get them one at a time? Not really -- the file list is dynamic and depends on what modules you're trying to build. You can download everything from the site, but that's probably more than you'd need. Best if generally to just let the buildroot fetch everything for you. By the way, if connections to a particular site fails for some reason for a package, the buildroot is supposed to "fall back" to files.gumstix.com -- if it's not doing that for you, there's a bug somewhere. > Do I simply put the tarballs in ./dl, and then do a make? Yup. > If I want to start again from scratch, using the tarballs that I > assume stay in dl, what do I do to clean things up? What I do is actually set up a directory (in my case I use /usr/share/ sources) which I then symlink as buildroot/dl -- then I can share the same directory of tarballs across multiple buildroot checkouts, and not have to worry about accidentally deleting the tarballs and then having to re-download them all. > Sorry about all the questions. Is there a place I can go to find > out about this stuff, so I do not have to bother you? np. Some of this stuff is documented on the wiki; there are some holes and that's what this list is for. If you wish to, after you've figured stuff out, feel free to update the wiki in any way which might help other people not have to re-ask the same Qs. C |

I guess there must be a bug. I started the make and went away. = When I came back it was on the 23rd retry of the ftp site in the uk. At this point the uk site is back up. Warren |

thanks, I was wondering if that might be the issue.
