Re: [Ipodlinux-devel] HFS+ and Kernel 2.4.24

[David C. <bus...@ho...>]

My solution was to replace the shipped broken version of expr with a working 
one.

I downloaded sh-utils from the gnu mirrors and
./configure --host=powerpc
make
then copied the expr binary to /bin
(don't do a make install, the gnu uname is broken on mac os x)

bypass

-- The error I recieve is:
-- "KERNELRELEASE "2.4.24-uc0" exceeds 64 characters"
-- If you receive that warning go into the Makefile in the root directory of

-- @expr length "$(KERNELRELEASE)" \<= $(uts_len) > /dev/null || \
-- with:
-- @expr `expr "$(KERNELRELEASE)" : '.*'` \<= $(uts_len) > /dev/null || \
