Hello,

I used to place some files into openwrt root directory. To achieve that just copy them into package/base-files/files/ directory
It work for me so far. I decide to download trunk and do the same, but when place a file inside package/base .....   it fails to compile, here is the last lines from compilation (make V=s).
Actually after many retries looks like one of my files make compilation fail, it is 11k binary file compiled for mips , here is the last lines from compilation (make V=s).

any ideas how to correct this  problem?

Did you read these instructions?

I did nothing wrong and curious thing is that one file cause compilation to fail, if I include other files, there is no problem, but if put this file, never mind in what base-files directory, compilation fails with the above error. Very strange ................. (same file is included in BB_14.07 compilation and it work without problem)

What is the file?  (There is the warning about a missing "libc" dependency, which looks strange).

My guess is that somehow your file replaces a normal file and compilation fails as the system thinks that the base-files package needs a new dependency.

Like Borromini indicated via the wiki link, the normal place to add custom files is NOT <buildroot>/package/base-files/files. Normal place is <buildroot>/files and the files placed there should be handled properly. Have you tried that already?

Thank u for your help guys, looks like I was in mistake putting files into packages directory, it works fine so far, but now you show me the better/right way and  it worked, thank you.
