Hi,
The current libedit library in buildroot is downloaded from debian (no
regular homepage) and is a generic package. However, there also exists
another libedit package, that is autotools-based, based on NetBSD
libedit, and still active (latest release of 2013-07-12)
See http://www.thrysoee.dk/editline/
My question is: what do you think about starting to use that version?
I don't have code currently using libedit, so I can't assess whether
both are compatible or not.
The .mk file would become much simpler:
LIBEDIT_VERSION = 20130712-3.1
LIBEDIT_SITE = http://www.thrysoee.dk/editline
LIBEDIT_INSTALL_STAGING = YES
so there's definitely some advantage to it.
Any users of libedit care to try?
Thanks,
Thomas

$(eval $(autotools-package))

OK, I'm queuing this for testing. Thanks for pointing this out. :-)
