Hello--
I've recently found a post on this mailing list dating back to 2007.
The author of this post had found that busybox would build on Mac OS X
up to the point where fakeroot would be required.
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2007-February/002138.html
I've now downloaded and built fakeroot from "fakeroot_1.14.tar.gz." My
build system was Mac OS X 10.5.8 with Darwin 9.8.0, using
i686-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Inc. build 5493). The
source download location was:
http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fakeroot/
However, I've found that the more recent versions of fakeroot (i.e.
fakeroot_1.14.3.tar.gz) do not cleanly build on Mac OS X.
What is the updated status on Mac OS X support for buildroot?
Nicholas
