Build Root Error

[bangonkali]

To where should the toolchain path point? I have this error:

/bin/grep: /usr/local/src/buildroot-2013.11/output/host/usr/armeb-buildroot-linux-gnueabihf/sysroot/usr/local/src/buildroot-2013.11/output/host/usr/armeb-buildroot-linux-gnueabihf/sysroot/usr/lib/libassuan.la: No such file or directory

As for my case the toolchain path I entered: /usr/local/src/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8-2013.11_linux

    Toolchain type (External toolchain)  --->
    Toolchain (Custom toolchain)  --->

That's odd. It looks like the error is coming from within the buildroot directory, not from the cross compiler. Do you have all the file permissions in the directory set correctly? They should all be owned by the user you are running make as.

[bangonkali]

If you check the first code block there is a statement there:

/usr/local/src/buildroot-2013.11/output/host/usr/armeb-buildroot-linux-gnueabihf/sysroot/usr/local/src/buildroot-2013.11/output/host/usr/armeb-buildroot-linux-gnueabihf/sysroot/usr/lib/libassuan.la

What could have produced this very long address? It seems this is caused by a misconfiguration on my part.

[zhemao]

Possibly, but I don't think it's in the toolchain section. What other changes did you make?

[zhemao]

Also, I would suggest copying the buildroot folder to somewhere in your home directory and building it there instead of in /usr/local/src. That might be causing an issue.

[bangonkali]

I think may have solved this. Probably it was due to an error in my part in defining the location of the buildroot toolchain path.
