[uClibc] uclibc question :-)

[tom at ceisystems.com]

Hello all,

	You might also want to `mount --bind /dev mnt/dev`.  This will
help when you try to compile nice packages like Perl, etc.  It also
makes life much less confusing and obfuscated when you're flipping from
chroot'ed environment to real system.  :-P

	One thing you _should_ know, going into this, is that the
buildroot system is targeted at developers and people that are
comfortable with compiling sources, etc.  This means that if you are not
familiar with Makefiles, Configure scripts, compilers, linkers,
cross-compilers, or any of the other terms that are frequently thrown
around in development groups, you may want to consider doing some
reading before attempting to dive right in.  I would say, feel free to
ask any (previously unanswered/unposted) question you like.  Chances
are, though, that most of the questions you will have while getting
started may be found by using the Google search on the main uClibc page.
That will prove to be an invaluable resource for you.

Good luck,

Read this:

Not exactly:
 mkdir mnt
 mount -t ext2 -o loop root_fs-i386 mnt
 chroot mnt /bin/sh

Thats all. But what i do is this:
 mkdir mnt
 mount -t ext2 -o loop root_fs-i386 mnt
 mount --bind /proc mnt/proc
 mount --bind /free/space mnt/mnt
 chroot mnt /bin/bash

Yes.

I never saw that Problem, here are my steps:

 - Get and unpack libiconv-1.7.tar.gz
 - ./configure --prefix=/usr --disable-nls
 - make
 - make install or make DESTDIR=/somewhere install
