Description Patrick Ziegler 2010-11-08 15:54:15 UTC 
When I try to compile ubiattach, ubidetach, ubiformat, ubimkvol, ubinize from mtd utils (1.4.1), the link process fails with the following error:

[...]"arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi/bin/ld: cannot find -lmtd collect2: ld returned 1 exit status"

Comment 2 Patrick Ziegler 2010-11-11 15:19:07 UTC 
Buildroot version: 2010.11-rc1

If only ubi tools shall be build from mtd-utils, the libmtd.a will not be build but is in fact a dependency of some ubi tools (e.g. ubiattach).

The previous attached patch fixes this problem for me by building libmtd.a explicit as soon as an ubi tool shall be build.
Comment 3 Peter Korsgaard 2010-11-18 20:58:07 UTC 
Thanks, committed a simplified (always just build libmtd.a) version to git.
