Buildroot on SLED 10 SP1

Getting SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED) 10 SP1 configured to build the Buildroot is quite easy once you know where to find all of the required packages. Here's the list of packages that need to be installed:

To Build the Buildroot

 * autoconf
 * automake
 * bison
 * gcc
 * gcc-c++
 * make
 * ncurses-devel
 * subversion
 * zlib-devel
 * texinfo
 * flex

Optional packages

 * ckermit

Everything but texinfo and ckermit can be found on the SLED 10 SP1 installation CD/DVD. The texinfo and ckermit packages are located on the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 10 SP 1 CD/DVD (if you have access to those disks) or can be found at the Internet Installation Repository at openSUSE.org. Once you click on the link to the Internet Installation Repository descend into /suse/i586 and browse for the corresponding RPMs.

Once the required packages are installed, you should be able to follow the information located on the Buildroot page with out any problems.
