Hi Rob, list, When I try building tip currently (make clean; make defconfig; make ), the compilation aborts with:
Compile toybox... lib/help.c:8:28: fatal error: generated/help.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. make: *** [toybox] Error 1 On my system this is because make.sh contains PYTHON="$(which python2)" if [ ! -z "$PYTHON" ] && [ ! -z "$(grep 'CONFIG_TOYBOX_HELP=y' $KCONFIG_CONFIG)" ] then echo "Extract help text from Config.in." "$PYTHON" scripts/config2help.py Config.in > generated/help.h || exit 1 fi But my system (Debian 7.0) has no python2 symlink. It actually does have python2.6 and python2.7 symlinks. So I would at least advice to check for any of the earlier to exist, rather than python2. Another issue is that it's not very graceful in error handling. Attached you can find a patch which searches for python, python2.6 and python2.7 (in that order) and prints out a friendly warning if the user requested help but python2.x could not be found. my 2 cents E. -- Elie De Brauwer
