gconf has not seen any release since 2013, and the last commit in https://gitlab.gnome.org/Archive/gconf is from 2015. The package example application basic-gconf-app fails to build with a recent compiler such as GCC 14.x: basic-gconf-app.c:458:60: error: passing argument 1 of ‘gtk_dialog_get_content_area’ from incompatible pointer type [-Wincompatible-pointer-types] It is not entirely clear since when this breakage takes place, but most likely since GCC 14.x was introduced. This issue can be reproduced including on 2025.02.x with the following defconfig: BR2_aarch64=y BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_BOOTLIN=y BR2_PACKAGE_MESA3D=y BR2_PACKAGE_MESA3D_GALLIUM_DRIVER_SWRAST=y BR2_PACKAGE_MESA3D_OPENGL_EGL=y BR2_PACKAGE_MESA3D_OPENGL_ES=y BR2_PACKAGE_LIBGTK3=y BR2_PACKAGE_GCONF=y However, for the build issue to happen you need to run: $ make libgtk3 $ make So that libgtk3 gets built before gconf. Indeed, there's a hidden dependency between the two, and the example programs of gconf only get build if libgtk3 is built before. We've however encountered the problem in a (real) bigger build where the dependency relationship of packages have caused libgtk3 to get built before gconf. Note that we could perhaps have fixed the problem by disabling the examples, but gconf is anyway so old and deprecated that it isn't worth the effort. There are no known autobuilder issues.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at https://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
