[Avila] avila fedora 5 compilation issue

Mon Jul 17 19:04:52 EDT 2006

Tim,

Thanks for the info.  This is my first FC5 system.  I'm building as root...so permissions shouldn't be an issue.  I know all references keep saying building as root is risky...but I only seem to be able to get it working that way, and nothing catastrophic has happenend yet.  Of course I've got a dedicated development station for this project, so I hope I can avoid any mishaps.

What I did was install FC5 on the development station.  Then I installed the Avila Version 0.6 development chain.  This used to work on RH9.  In RH9 I had to upgrade the Make version to 3.90, but it make -v return 3.90 for FC5.

As per instrustion I check the arm-linux-gcc & arm-linux-ld versions, and these seem to be ok.  The path looks ok (includes /usr/local/bin).  I'm building everything at /usr/src/snapgear  and this has worked for me with the RH9 system.

I end up with this message even if I build 2.4.X kernel rather than the 2.6.x version.

Do you recall if in your installing you'd grabbed the Avila Release (version 0.6) or did you get it directly from snapgear?

Thanks, and all help is greatly appreciated.

...Sanjay
