Look at the messages with x86_64 toolchain subject. Actually we are 2 solutions: * Patch the toolchain so the library will always be: /lib/ld-uClibc.so * Add a variable and put the right name for every toolchains > > About zram support, I've lost track about it's status. > I know some changes has been made in master (like swap support in the > kernel), others seems to be merged into next branch (like changes to > conf/images/common/leaf.cfg) - don't know what other changes ended in > which repository..., and finally it lacks any documentation how to > enable and to make use of it. The zram support is in the topic branch: buc5-zram-support This branch as been merged in next but not in master. If we decided to integrate it, we only have to merge the topic branch into master. For the configuration there are a new variable: zswap_size that can be defined in leaf.cfg. The values can be: -1 = disabled 0 = auto other = size of sram swap partition Default is -1, but for our images i fixed it to 0 (in conf/image/common/config.cfg) Regards, Yves ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ LogMeIn Rescue: Anywhere, Anytime Remote support for IT.
