[Buildroot] Problems using buildroot.

[Phill Harvey-Smith]

I have a couple of problems using buildroot :-

1) the location of the fakeroot packages seems to have changed, 1.8.x 
seems to no longer be on debian's site, I downloaded 1.9 and renamed it, 
and the extracted dir and that seemed to compile ok.

2) I can't get coreutils to build properly, it keeps barding out with :-

In file included from mbchar.h:157,
                  from mbchar.c:22:
./wchar.h:41:12: error: empty filename in #include
In file included from mbchar.c:22:
mbchar.h:242: error: expected ')' before 'wc'
make[3]: *** [mbchar.o] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory 
`/net/aurigae/home/afra/Src/BuildRoot/buildroot/build_i386/coreutils-6.9/lib'
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory 
`/net/aurigae/home/afra/Src/BuildRoot/buildroot/build_i386/coreutils-6.9/lib'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory 
`/net/aurigae/home/afra/Src/BuildRoot/buildroot/build_i386/coreutils-6.9'
make: *** 
[/net/aurigae/home/afra/Src/BuildRoot/buildroot/build_i386/coreutils-6.9/src/vdir] 
Error 2

Any clues as to what might be wrong ?

coreutils compiles correctly outside of buildroot, as the same user on 
the same machine.

Machine is running SuSE 10.0.

Cheers.

Phill.
