[Buildroot] hacking in new packages...

[Robert Randall]

I'm new to hacking in new packages and I'm having an issue with libtool getting a bit crabby.

>>> attr 2.4.43-1 Building
PATH="/home/robert/build2/buildroot/output/host/bin:/home/robert/build2/buildroot/output/host/usr/bin:/home/robert/build2/buildroot/output/host/usr/sbin/:/home/robert/build2/buildroot/output/toolchain/bin:/home/robert/x-tools/arm-pranah-linux-gnu/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/opt/ptxdist/bin"  /usr/bin/make -j1  -C /home/robert/build2/buildroot/output/build/attr-2.4.43-1/

Is there a polite or preferred way to fix this or do I just patch/hack the makefile that comes with the package to fix-up the LIBTOOL tags?

Regards,
Robert.
