[ptxdist] Issue with install_node creating pipes

[ptxdist] Issue with install_node creating pipes

[jon.bird]

Hi,

There seems to be an issue using install_node to create named pipes, previously (with 2012.12.1 release), this worked:

@$(call install_node, syslogparser, 121, 121, 0644, p, , ,/var/local/syslogparser0.fifo)

Now (with 2016.04 release), the creation of the final image fails:

...
Configuring nfsutils.
mknod: `./var/local/syslogparser0.fifo': File exists
make: *** [/home/jon/sdr/os_uplift1/platform-i586/state/image_working_dir] Error 1

Rgs,


Jon.

I think ptxdist-2015.01.0-42-g15c165d69929 broke this. I'm suprised nobody
notices before. Can you try without this change? You can just copy the
script to the same location in your BSP and change it there.

Can you give me a quick crash course on how to do this? Aside from doing the odd checkout from git, I'm totally unfamiliar with it having more of a svn background...

Thanks,


Jon.

Many thanks for that, was very useful. I can confirm that this change did cause this issue to arise. Copying this older version in doesn't quite work though because there are other changes in there which cause it to fail but just backing out that one change in the existing version does.

This should be fixed in master now.
