Hi Michael.
I compiled opkg for my host system (archlinux) with : "./configure ; make ; make install" and installed all packages from ptxdist without any errors:
DESTDIR="/home/friesen/rootfs/rootfs" opkg -f "/home/friesen/rootfs/opkg.conf" -o "/home/friesen/rootfs/rootfs/" install /home/friesen/ptx-multi/platform-soc/packages/*.ipk
but
DESTDIR="/home/friesen/rootfs/rootfs" /home/friesen/gitlab/ptx-multi/platform-soc/sysroot-host/bin/opkg -f "/home/friesen/rootfs/opkg.conf" -o "/home/friesen/rootfs/rootfs/" install /home/friesen/gitlab/quantumx-master/projects/ppc/ptx-multi/platform-soc/packages/*,pkg
produced this error:
* check_data_file_clashes: Package rootfs wants to install file /home/faix/ptx-multi/platform-soc/build-target/image-nor-mxfs4/var/run
But that path is currently a directory
I finded out with try-and-error method, that opkg do not like "prefix= " !
