I was surprised to see that too, particularly since I thought I was using a "real computer" - https://www.nersc.gov/users/computational-systems/testbeds/babbage/. I'm sure NERSC has a reason for providing me BusyBox but I don't know what it is. In any case, I am giving up on building the git master and switching to the 3.1.1 release tarball. If for some reason that isn't new enough, I'll use the nightly tarball. Jeff On Tue, Jun 24, 2014 at 4:17 PM, Larry Baker <[email protected]> wrote:
Jeff,
You know you are not really using "patch", but the dumbed-down patch-compatible BusyBox command? If you have real "patch" on your system, maybe all you have to do is alter your PATH so it gets used instead of BusyBox's patch. Otherwise, like this is for an embedded system, you might have to cross-compile/build from an environment with grown-up versions of the development tools.
