[Buildroot] Error while installing dosfstools: mkdosfs’: No such file or directory

[Daniel.]

I'm receiving this error while trying to compile dosfstools
[hilst at archhilst buildroot-2013.05]$ make

It seems that mkdosfs isn't generated, still I got no copile error..

Works here:

>>> dosfstools 3.0.16 Installing to target
test -z "mkdosfs" || install -m 755 /home/peko/source/buildroot/output/build/dosfstools-3.0.16/mkdosfs /home/peko/source/buildroot/output/target/sbin/
mkdir -p /home/peko/source/buildroot/output/target/etc

Could you please provide more details? What is your .config exactly?
Please run 'make savedefconfig' and paste the content of the 'defconfig'
file.

I asked you to run 'make savedefconfig' and post the defconfig file, but
OK.

Are you sure this is the right configuration? I see

# BR2_PACKAGE_DOSFSTOOLS is not set

E.G. you haven't enabled the dosfstools package at all.

Well, I found what is happening but don't found why

The dosfstools compiles file..
Now on this make file output/build/dosfstools-3.0.16/Makefile I got this 
rule:
install: install-bin install-doc install-man install-symlinks

Which brings me to this:
install-symlinks:
# OMITTED ..
         if [ -e $(DESTDIR)/$(SBINDIR)/mkfs.fat ]; \
         then \
                 ln -sf mkfs.fat $(DESTDIR)/$(SBINDIR)/mkdosfs; \
                 # ...
         fi; \        fi 


Here is the makefile, I'm using buildroot-2013.05, so it maybe identical 
of everyone with the same buidlroot: http://pastebin.com/Kt8sfse5

So mkdosfs is not a binary but a link.. which is not being created...
Here is the make output: http://pastebin.com/FPKGxrNT

It seems that install target is never being executed, or something like 
that.

Executing output/build/dosfstools-3.0.16/Makefile install target by hand 
seems fine: http://pastebin.com/z38ncXBF

Does buildroot uses a custom Makefile for each package?
This line, at make output, doesn't seem to be generated by dosfstools 
Makefile.

Thanks in advance

Peter, I just copy the .config from buildroot directory, sorry

Anyway.. here is the saved defconfig :)

Can you send a proper patch with this fix?

How so?
There's something fishy with this "bug".
The tool renaming happened with dosfstools 3.0.18, hence 3.0.16 behaves
the exact same way as before (mkdosfs instead of mkfs.fat and so on).
Either the 3.0.16 tarball he has isn't really 3.0.16 or i don't know
what's up.
Daniel: did you try removing the source tarball and trying a new download?
Regards.

I think we saw this issue too (with 13.02).
Turns out the dosfstools tarball content was changed without stepping the
version number (3.0.12 iirc).
There was a site update aswell which fixed it for us:

-DOSFSTOOLS_SITE = http://fossies.org/linux/misc/
+DOSFSTOOLS_SITE = http://daniel-baumann.ch/files/software/dosfstools

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Magnus

Yes, indeed.

2013.05 was using the old fossies.org location you fixed in June
(06938c3a9):

http://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/tree/package/dosfstools/dosfstools.mk?id=2013.05

The fossies.org location used to be correct:

ls -lah ~download/dosfstools-3.0.16.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 peko peko 85K Mar  1 09:02 /var/lib/downloads/dosfstools-3.0.16.tar.gz

But now seems to instead contain 3.0.20. Perhaps a buggy redirect?

Looking at the wget output, it indeed it the reason:

Perhaps we can get the fossies.org admins to fix it?

410 is fine, now it'll fall back on the buildroot mirror for sources
which is best.
For newer releases the URL was switched to
http://daniel-baumann.ch/files/software/dosfstools/ which seems to keep
old versions around.
So everything is fine now, thanks.
Regards.

That's good, thanks a lot.

Ok, noted. The dosfstools package has been changed in git to no longer
use fossies.org, so this is just for people using older releases.
