Hi All, I am trying to compile busybox-1.17.1 for mpc8250 based powerpc architecture. My settings are as : export LDFLAGS="-nostdlib -L/opt/mpc8250/tools/ppc_6xx/usr/lib/" export LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/mpc8250/tools/ppc_6xx/usr/lib/ echo $PATH /usr/lib/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/lib/ccache:/opt/mpc8250/tools/usr/bin/:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/root/bin I specified in menuconfig: CFLAGS as -I/opt/mpc8250/tools/ppc_6xx/usr/include/ -L/opt/mpc8250/tools/ppc_6xx/usr/lib/ make ARCH=powerpc CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux- --include-dir=/opt/mpc8250/tools/ppc_6xx/usr/include/ PREFIX=/home/user/target/mpc8250/rootfs LD applets/built-in.o LINK busybox_unstripped Trying libraries: crypt m Failed: -Wl,--start-group -lcrypt -lm -Wl,--end-group Output of: powerpc-linux-gcc -Wall -Wshadow -Wwrite-strings -Wundef -Wstrict-prototypes -Wunused -Wunused-parameter -Wunused-function -Wunused-value -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wold-style-definition -fno-builtin-strlen -finline-limit=0 -fomit-frame-pointer -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -fno-guess-branch-probability -funsigned-char -static-libgcc -falign-functions=1 -falign-jumps=1 -falign-labels=1 -falign-loops=1 -Os -I/opt/mpc8250/tools/ppc_6xx/usr/include/ -L/opt/mpc8250/tools/ppc_6xx/usr/lib/ -static -nostdlib -L/opt/mpc8250/tools/ppc_6xx/usr/lib/ -o busybox_unstripped -Wl,--start-group applets/built-in.o archival/lib.a archival/libunarchive/lib.a console-tools/lib.a coreutils/lib.a coreutils/libcoreutils/lib.a debianutils/lib.a e2fsprogs/lib.a editors/lib.a findutils/lib.a init/lib.a libbb/lib.a libpwdgrp/lib.a loginutils/lib.a mailutils/lib.a miscutils/lib.a modutils/lib.a networking/lib.a networking/libiproute/lib.a networking/udhcp/lib.a printutils/lib.a procps/lib.a runit/lib.a selinux/lib.a shell/lib.a sysklogd/lib.a util-linux/lib.a util-linux/volume_id/lib.a archival/built-in.o archival/libunarchive/built-in.o console-tools/built-in.o coreutils/built-in.o coreutils/libcoreutils/built-in.o debianutils/built-in.o e2fsprogs/built-in.o editors/built-in.o findutils/built-in.o init/built-in.o libbb/built-in.o libpwdgrp/built-in.o loginutils/built-in.o mailutils/built-in.o miscutils/built-in.o modutils/built-in.o networking/built-in.o networking/libiproute/built-in.o networking/udhcp/built-in.o printutils/built-in.o procps/built-in.o runit/built-in.o selinux/built-in.o shell/built-in.o sysklogd/built-in.o util-linux/built-in.o util-linux/volume_id/built-in.o -Wl,--end-group -Wl,--start-group -lcrypt -lm -Wl,--end-group ========== /opt/mpc8250/tools/usr/bin/../lib/gcc/powerpc-linux/4.2.2/../../../../powerpc-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypt collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [busybox_unstripped] Error 1 Also tried: make ARCH=powerpc CROSS=powerpc-linux- --include-dir=/opt/mpc8250/tools/ppc_6xx/usr/include/ PREFIX=/home/user/target/mpc8250/rootfs LINK busybox_unstripped Trying libraries: crypt m Failed: -Wl,--start-group -lcrypt -lm -Wl,--end-group Output of: powerpc-linux-gcc -Wall -Wshadow -Wwrite-strings -Wundef -Wstrict-prototypes -Wunused -Wunused-parameter -Wunused-function -Wunused-value -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wold-style-definition -fno-builtin-strlen -finline-limit=0 -fomit-frame-pointer -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -fno-guess-branch-probability -funsigned-char -static-libgcc -falign-functions=1 -falign-jumps=1 -falign-labels=1 -falign-loops=1 -Os -I/opt/mpc8250/tools/ppc_6xx/usr/include/ -L/opt/mpc8250/tools/ppc_6xx/usr/lib/ -static -nostdlib -L/opt/mpc8250/tools/ppc_6xx/usr/lib/ -o busybox_unstripped -Wl,--start-group applets/built-in.o archival/lib.a archival/libunarchive/lib.a console-tools/lib.a coreutils/lib.a coreutils/libcoreutils/lib.a debianutils/lib.a e2fsprogs/lib.a editors/lib.a findutils/lib.a init/lib.a libbb/lib.a libpwdgrp/lib.a loginutils/lib.a mailutils/lib.a miscutils/lib.a modutils/lib.a networking/lib.a networking/libiproute/lib.a networking/udhcp/lib.a printutils/lib.a procps/lib.a runit/lib.a selinux/lib.a shell/lib.a sysklogd/lib.a util-linux/lib.a util-linux/volume_id/lib.a archival/built-in.o archival/libunarchive/built-in.o console-tools/built-in.o coreutils/built-in.o coreutils/libcoreutils/built-in.o debianutils/built-in.o e2fsprogs/built-in.o editors/built-in.o findutils/built-in.o init/built-in.o libbb/built-in.o libpwdgrp/built-in.o loginutils/built-in.o mailutils/built-in.o miscutils/built-in.o modutils/built-in.o networking/built-in.o networking/libiproute/built-in.o networking/udhcp/built-in.o printutils/built-in.o procps/built-in.o runit/built-in.o selinux/built-in.o shell/built-in.o sysklogd/built-in.o util-linux/built-in.o util-linux/volume_id/built-in.o -Wl,--end-group -Wl,--start-group -lcrypt -lm -Wl,--end-group ========== /opt/mpc8250/tools/usr/bin/../lib/gcc/powerpc-linux/4.2.2/../../../../powerpc-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrypt collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [busybox_unstripped] Error 1 Any clues as to why this happens?
