Ok I've followed the buildroot through twice first with the stable and it sucesfully did a make but I couldn't get GPSD 2.30 to make. So, I'm assuming that I have all the needed programs installed so my buildroot environment is valid. So I changed to the devel trunk since GPSD is in there already and it should be a simple mattter to just do a make. I was wrong.
I ran a make and here's what happened:
/home/user/trunk/openwrt/staging_dir_mipsel/bin/mipsel-linux-uclibc-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG -I. -I. -I.

make[6]: *** leaving [netlib.lo] Error 1
make[6]: Leaving directory '/home/usr/trunk/openwrt/build_mipsel/gpsd-2.30'So, this leads me to believe there is an error in the netlib.lo file. However I'm not sure how to go about tracking it down and fixing or what the error really is. I assumed that gpsd was stable since Nico has successfully built a gpsd 2.30.ipk. I assumed that the source would build if it's in the buildroot.
If you ask why the heck are you trying to build it if it's already done? Well, this a learning excercise that I can learn how to build other packages later.
