Trouble with snapgear...

Hi all!

I must be doing something fundamentally wrong, but I don't see what...

I have obtained a toolchain from

formatting link
and loop-mounted it as described at the bottom of the page. Then I downloaded snapgear-3.x.x.tar.gz from
formatting link
and tried to follow the instructions on
formatting link

with snapgear-3.3.0.tar.gz I get: [root@desktop-evert snapgear-3.3.0]# make xconfig cannot access `config/mkconfig': No such file or directory make: *** [config.in] Error 1 [root@desktop-evert snapgear-3.3.0]#

with snapgear-3.4.0.tar.gz I get: [root@desktop-evert snapgear-3.4.0]# make xconfig make: *** No rule to make target `xconfig'. Stop. [root@desktop-evert snapgear-3.4.0]#

(this last one makes sense, because there is no Makefile in the folder...)

Am I missing something? Or are the instructions I am using incomplete...?

Regards, Evert

Looks like the snapgear-3.3.1.tar.gz file gets me further! :-)

Evert,

where has the top level Makefile gone ?

you should have the following files in the top level directory:

$ tar -ztvf snapgear-3.4.0.tar.gz

and the following directories:

vendors

I then run $ make xconfig config/mkconfig > config.in make -C /mnt/work/snapgear-linux/snapgear-3.4.0/config/scripts tkparse make[1]: Entering directory `/mnt/work/snapgear-linux/snapgear-3.4.0/config/scripts' cc -c -o tkparse.o tkparse.c cc -c -o tkcond.o tkcond.c cc -c -o tkgen.o tkgen.c cc -o tkparse tkparse.o tkcond.o tkgen.o make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/work/snapgear-linux/snapgear-3.4.0/config/scripts' ARCH=dummy /mnt/work/snapgear-linux/snapgear-3.4.0/config/scripts/tkparse < config.in > config.tmp cat /mnt/work/snapgear-linux/snapgear-3.4.0/config/scripts/header.tk >>

./config.tk cat config.tmp >> config.tk

etc, etc. and I get the xwindow config boxes appearing.

Any of the versions should work. 3.4.0 is the latest, however we don't have formal approval to release it yet.

Check to make sure you have the uncompressed files as listed from a tar -ztvf snapgear-3.4.0.tar.gz

Regards,
