Re: [Ltib] imx21ads default build

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi George,

I'm afraid to say that this platform is ancient and so unlikely to have 
been testing on a modern distribution.  I'm not sure if this can be 
(easily) made to work, so unless you really need this platform I'd 
recommend trying something else.  If you do need it, it might be worth 
digging out a Linux host box from about 2003 and trying that (it 
probably worked back then).

Looking at the issue you have, the problem seems to be with the 
configure option in your output:

--with-linux-prefix=/home/mx21/linux/linux


In the .spec dist/lfs-5.1/blob/blob-imx21ads.spec it says:

./configure \
  --with-linux-prefix=$DEV_IMAGE/usr/src/linux \
  --with-board=$BLOB_BOARD \

So unless you modified this .spec file, or you have a different version, 
it is pointing to the wrong place.
The path: $DEV_IMAGE/usr/src/linux should point to the kernel source 
previously build by LTIB.

As I said before, be prepared to spend time on this to get it to work, 
it's pretty ancient and I'd hate to thing you would waste too much time 
on this.  Unfortunately as I've said before I've almost no time to help.

Regards, Stuart
