Prepare Fedora Linux for Buildroot compilation
2024-01-10
Here's a quick note on how to prepare Fedora for compiling Buildroot. The following worked for me for compiling a system for the Milk-V Duo.
First install Fedora's equivalent of build-essential
and ncurses (for menuconfig).
sudo dnf group install "C Development Tools and Libraries" "Development Tools"
sudo dnf install ncurses-devel
If when running make
compilation results in missing Perl modules, install them via:
sudo dnf install 'perl(My::Module)'
Fortunately these missing Perl modules error appear at the very beginning of the compilation and causes the least hassle!
