I really don't think we need it in OpenWrt, so I'm going to patch it out. chrpath seems to need some ELF related stuff that isn't part of our host build yet, and I think it is completely pointless to add all of this for a piece of functionality that we don't need or want in OpenWrt at all.
After fixing some madness wrt. scons platform detection (I'm beginning to dislike scons even more than autoconf now), I tried my patched gpsd package and it seemed to find its libraries just fine. - Felix _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
