Cannot build root filesystem using Buildroot on Ubuntu 14.10

Hello, 

 

I'm building Linux kernel and root filesystem for Arrow SoCKit. 

 

I've installed cross compiler on Ubuntu 14.10 machine: 

$ sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf 

$ arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc --version 

arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.9.1-16ubuntu6) 4.9.1 

Copyright (C) 2014 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

The cross-compiler works. I've used it to build kernel for Arrow SoCKit: 

$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- ARCH=arm socfpga_defconfig  

$ alias armmake='make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- ARCH=arm' <--I put this into .profile  

$ armmake -j4 uImage LOADADDR=0x8000 <-- this produced the expected uImage 

 

 

But then I run into problem trying to build root fs for SoCKit using Buildroot-2014.11:  

$ make menuconfig 

Within Buildroot menuconfig I set the Toolchain as follows: 

Toolchain type (External toolchain) --->  

Toolchain (Custom toolchain) --->  

Toolchain origin (Pre-installed toolchain) --->  

(/usr/) Toolchain path  

(arm-linux-gnueabihf) Toolchain prefix  

External toolchain kernel headers series (3.1.x) --->  

External toolchain C library (glibc/eglibc) --->  

[*] Toolchain has RPC support?  

[*] Toolchain has C++ support?  

() Extra toolchain libraries to be copied to target  

[ ] Copy gdb server to the Target  

[ ] Build cross gdb for the host  

[ ] Purge unwanted locales  

() Generate locale data  

[ ] Copy gconv libraries  

[*] Enable MMU support  

(-pipe) Target Optimizations  

() Target linker options  

[ ] Register toolchain within Eclipse Buildroot plug-in  

 

Then run make and get the following error: 

$ make 

/usr/bin/make -j1 HOSTCC="/usr/bin/gcc" HOSTCXX="/usr/bin/g++" silentoldconfig 

make[1]: Entering directory '/home/jeff/buildroot-2014.11'

make: *** [/home/jeff/buildroot-2014.11/output/build/toolchain-external-undefined/.stamp_configured] Error 1 

 

I've used Buildroot in Arch Linux without encountering the above problem. I'm new to Ubuntu, and can't figure out what is going wrong.  

 

Can anyone help? Thanks!
