I am a dabbler in the linux world. While the instructions listed in the wiki for buildroot are a start, since they don't totally match up with what has to be done in ubuntu I'm alittle lost.

Is there a guide somewhere someone could point me to? I finally got it where I thought it would work, but it seems alot of comparable packages are missing and I couldn't find their equivelents listed in the add/remove (gui package manager) of ubuntu. "kdesvn" seems to be the svn equivelent, but it doesn't seem to be working exactly the same.

Any help here would be appreciated, I *know* alot of you use ubuntu, so I know this can be done, I simply don't have the expertise within linux to figure this out.

No one? Can no one even give instructions on how to get buildroot going with ubuntu with KDESVN? I'm just trying to get the mmc.c driver compilied which of course needs this to build.

Nevermind, I got it figured out.

Or maybe not....I've tried installing differing versions of flex to no avail, here's the output:

1. install some extra packages

sudo apt-get install gcc g++ binutils patch bzip2 flex bison make autoconf gettext texinfo unzip sharutils subversion libncurses5-dev zlib1g-dev

2. checkout WhiteRussian

svn co https://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/branches/whiterussian/

3. run menuconfig (with the default set), save and exit

make menuconfig

4. Build WhiteRussian

make world

Works for me on Ubuntu 6.06.1 LTS.

Didn't know about the sudo cmd, that helps LOADS.

Not sure if it's all installed correctly though, trying to build the mmc.c source gives a bunch of warning messages about variables being loaded but not defined after making it (and of course altering the makefile in with mmc.c to point to the buildroot whiterussian toolchain), however the mmc.o binary is there.

I just installed Ubuntu on my MacBook Pro last night out of desperation as I can't compile this under OS X for some reason.  I installed all the custom packages mentioned above and was able to build Kamikaze without any problems (much to my pleasant surprise).  But I just did a plain compile, I didn't play with changing the toolchain at all.

Quote from Tutorial: WRT54G SD card reader mod

Yeah, I read about ignoring them, however, changing the GPIO's didn't work, and I'm fairly sure I wired them correctly. At any rate I'll just compile the normal one and replace it on my other working GL with SDmod and see if that one works. If it does, then I need to go back to the drawing board with the buffalo unit.
