[Buildroot] partclone package issues

[Michael Sumulong]

I am trying to add a new package (partclone) to buildroot but I think there
may be errors in the autoconf config files or some configuration setting
with the ext2 libraries.

My current config is buildroot-2014.08 and I'm trying to add partclone
0.2.70.

I think my issue is that the partclone/configure.ac invokes a shell command
to compile a .c file but uses a hardcoded 'gcc' in the shell command. I
changed the gcc to use $cc but now it cannot find the libext2fs shared
object file. I do see libext2fs.a in output/host/usr/lib but not
libext2fs.so.2.



The error that I get occurs during the autoreconf phase:

checking for unistd.h... yes
checking ext2fs/ext2fs.h usability... yes
checking ext2fs/ext2fs.h presence... yes
checking for ext2fs/ext2fs.h... yes
checking for ext2fs_initialize in -lext2fs... yes
checking version of libextfs... ./get_lib_version: error while loading
shared libraries: libext2fs.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory
./get_lib_version: error while loading shared libraries: libext2fs.so.2:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
./get_lib_version: error while loading shared libraries: libext2fs.so.2:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
./get_lib_version: error while loading shared libraries: libext2fs.so.2:

?.?.?; bad
configure: error: Please check your libextfs!
