Hello,
Our last build of the defconfigs has almost been entirely successful,
there are only a few remaining issues to fix:
* beaglebone_qt5_defconfig
It fails to build because we use an older kernel than
beaglebone_defconfig, and this older kernel doesn't build the Device
Tree for the BeagleBone Green. In a previous commit, I removed
building the BeagleBone Green DT from beaglebone_qt5_defconfig, but
it continues to fail building because the genimage.cfg file
references am335x-bonegreen.dtb, and this genimage.cfg is shared by
both beaglebone_defconfig and beaglebone_qt5_defconfig.
See https://gitlab.com/buildroot.org/buildroot/builds/16253472.
Since Lothar (who contributed beaglebone_qt5_defconfig) hasn't
provided any fix since quite a long time for this problem, my
proposal would be to get rid of beaglebone_qt5_defconfig. I'll send
a patch doing this.
* csky_gx6605s_defconfig
It fails to build because the pre-built external toolchain needs
libelf installed on the host machine.
Arnout, do you think it's reasonable to add libelf in the list of
packages to install in the .gitlab-ci.yml file, just for the sake of
the csky external toolchain ?
* snps_archs38_zebu_defconfig
Failed to build because the defconfig has been renamed, and I had
forgotten to regenerate .gitlab-ci.yml. This is already fixed.
Bottom line: we have only two defconfigs that still have build issues,
so we're not far from a 100% build success here.
Best regards,
Thomas
