I tried the current CVS out to set up buildroot, but it didn't work.

I have a debian system with Linux kernel 2.4.26-1-386 and gcc 3.3.3.

Here is what the log said:

....

You must install 'gettext' on your build machine

make: *** [binutils-dependancies] Error 1

I guess the tool chain is not made properly, maby somthing is going wrong in "uClibc". I think the hint "You must install 'gettext' on your build machine" is only follow up error, because of the missing mipsel-linux-uclibc-gcc file.

Can somebody help? Simple type "make" as the README says doesn't work

There is a snapshot from yesterday here: http://openwrt.org/downloads/snapshots/ … 04.tar.bz2 so I assume buildroot works as expected.

coder thanks for your early reply. I know about the snapshot. To have the snapshot doesn't mean that everything works fine. I don't know how the snapshot is set up.

First I tried buildroot out with the wrt54gv2.2.02.2.tgz firmware upgrade. Than I got lots of ptaching errors. I checked this for my self and found out that the patches are not suitable for WTR54Gv2.2.02.2. After hours it seems to me openwrt is mostly made for WRT54Gs.
So I tried out the current CVS with WRT54Gs firmware to set up the buildroot. The patch errors are gone, but now  I get this error message above (s. my first posting).

It would be very kindly if sombody can help with a real hint.

regards

Hi Wobber,

Did you have the 'gettext' debian package installed ?
