Bug 1981

Whoops, forgot a description.

This patch bumps zlib to 1.2.5 and removes the two patches.

And maybe you also forgot to attach the patch, or is it just a bug to keep track of http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2010-June/035087.html ?

Paul, could you attach the patch here ?

zlib-Bump-to-1.2.5.patch

3rd time lucky....

Thanks, but it doesn't seem to work here:

Maybe we shouldn't do make libz.a when we build with --shared?

I just had another look at this and I can't seem to reproduce the problem. Manually running the same command where yours fails seems to work here:

(as an aside - how did you get so many repeated command line options?)

This is the output from the normal build:

sorry, don't know where that build issue came from - Cannot reproduce it anymore.
Committed, thanks!
