Dear Mike It seems like mtd-utils do have 2 spec files BUT they do not link to each other. Did you mean to use one of them, or two of them, if for my case the inotify-tools? Could you be slightly more specific? I could notice one spec file having "make -j1" and the other having "make -C"... is this a clue?
I've tried to "./configure --host=arm-linux" in the source and do "make". However, it does not have the binary files (eg inotifywait and inotifywatch). Thus, i created a tmp folder in my home and "./configure --host=arm-linux --prefix=/home/lucid/tmp" and do BOTH "make" and "sudo make install". I got the final binary/library files in ~/tmp/. NEVERTHELESS, i copied them to the target system and the binary files could not be executed. Where did i do wrong?
