Thankfully, most of them are easily fixed:
- News should be called ChangeLog and include the name of whoever made
each change.
- Each source file (c, h, S) must include proper copyright notice and
credits at the top.
- The build fails unless it is ./configure'd twice, because it misses
Makefile.conf.
- Makefile.conf would preferably be replaced by more traditional
Makefile.am and Mafefile.in to really be portable.
- config.log and various other files that should be cleaned before
shipping were found in the archive for mkelfImage 2.7 on the lnxi FTP server.
- The filename of the archive should be all lowercase.
Is there a patch available for these issues? We pulled mkelfImage into svn now, so we could fix it there.
Good to know. I can patch a few of these issues, but not all of them, as I'm not exactly an autotools guru. I'll pull from SVN and get started.
However, a more serious problem is that it fails to compile using recent GCC and glibc6.
any details? I had no problems compiling it with GNU C Library stable release version 2.7 (20071106) gcc version 4.3.0 20080131 (experimental) [trunk revision 131976] (SUSE Linux)
See the other reply for a sample log of this failure.
