[Buildroot] pciutils-2.2.6 fails to build for powerpc 405

[Darcy Watkins]

Hello,

Based on a suggestion from Martin, here is a simpler patch that applies
only to the buildroot project.


--- package/pciutils/pciutils.mk.theorig	2008-02-13
11:15:59.000000000 -0800

'-' -f 1` \
 		SHAREDIR="/usr/share/misc" \
 		PREFIX=/usr
 	touch $(PCIUTILS_DIR)/.compiled



...and then also delete the existing package/pciutils/pciutils.patch
file since it will no longer be needed.

Regards,

Darcy

I wonder if it is necessary to perform this magic which will likely
work only with the GNU toolchain.

Wouldn't it be enough to run for example `make HOST=ppc-linux' ?

If it is too cumersome for the buildroot project, I can of course apply
your patch, but on the other hand there is already enough magic in the
configure script, so I obviously tend to avoid adding more :-)

				Have a nice fortnight
