Getting soooooooooo frustrated trying to compile Limey. Have tried
1.1.5, 1.1.2, 1.0.9, 1.0.8, 1.0.7 keep getting similar but somewhat
varying errors usually regarding texi. I have fixed two make file
issues that are wrong in the buildroot distro. SO, I thought, maybe
go and build the latest buildroot separately. IT has makefile or
.config file problems. <br>
<br>
Now I know I was able to do this in the past, maybe 3 years ago.
That linux box I used crashed, drive went 10-7. So new one has
Slackware 14, no dice on Limey/buildroot, tried Ubuntooo 14, 12,
also same errors. <br>
<br>
I saw Steve Rogers one time asked them about these same errors. But
I see no fixes beyond references to un-obtainable patch files. <br>
<br>
So most basic question is this: what platform has successfully built
these particular Limey sources? <br>
<br>
Here's a look at where it errors:<br>

HALP! I have spent my weeks vacation screwing with this and I am not
much closer than when I started (I now know of the four or so
makefile/.config errors. Oh yeah, one more point was a suggestion to
turn off the making of text files, since some of the errors surround
that. Where? The config files in buildroot have three places for
document, info manual files on/off, all set to off...<br>
<br>
And people wonder why Microsoft has been successful... (THAT from a
TRUE Linux believer since 1993)<br>
