I had fix secend build error,by modify "scripts/functions" file.
the first build error still can't fix it. follow the instructions I had installed binutils,but why still install binutils when make?how do I config it?

I don't understand,would you tell me the detail instuctions?

- Wed Feb 11, 2015 9:05 am #9468 I think osx uses the built in versions of grep and gperf so I had to point the build to use the gnu versions installed through ma ports , there is a tutorial somewhere that worked for me , I'll try to find it , but try using $grep=/path/to/grep before you run the build
