arsv / minibase-br Goto Github PK

Hi, I have the minibase-br 2018-02-10 release, and followed instructions. Buildroot fails with this message:

make[6]: *** No rule to make target '../src/c++11/libc++11convenience.la', needed by 'libstdc++.la'.  Stop.
make[6]: Leaving directory '/mnt/sdc1/downloads2/input524/0-minibase-br/minibase-br/buildroot/output/build/host-gcc-final-6.4.0/build/x86_64-buildroot-linux-musl/libstdc++-v3/src'
make[5]: *** [Makefile:638: all-recursive] Error 1

Buildroot is host-sensitive. What host do you run on, that works?

Note, I am running EasyOS, which is a distribution compiled from source, so not a derivative of any of the mainline distros.

I also tested sys-2-crypt, make worked, wrote whole.img to a USB stick. At bootup, it asked for a passphrase, however, the keyboard was dead.

This is on a PC with a UEFI-BIOS HP motherboard, all Intel chips. So I tried on an old Compaq Presario, same problem. USB keyboards is all I have, don't have a ps/2 keyboard.

If the keyboard had worked, there is the problem of keyboard layout. I have a US keyboard, but entering the password is going to be a problem for other keyboards, Maybe need to have a simple selector for querty, quertz, azerty, etc.

In EasyOS, I also have encryption, where a password is entered in the initrd. Easy first displays a list of layouts, and user types a number to select which one, and busybox loadkmap is used.

Easy uses the ext4 and f2fs builtin per-folder encryption, which gives better performance than whole-of-partition encryption. Unfortunately, to handle all scenarios, I had to include mke2fs, e2fsck, tune2fs and e4crypt, statically-linked, which are 378KB, 513KB, 358KB, and 62KB -- considerably bulking up the initrd.

All of that is needed because Easy creates the second, working, partition, and needs the full mke2fs that has the "-O encrypt" option. Then e4crypt has to be run on the new folders that are to be encrypted. Easy can also boot where the working filesystem already exists, and needs tune2fs to turn on encryption capability in the ext4 f.s.

Anyway, the problem right now is the non-functioning keyboard.
