[Buildroot] problem creating package : download fails ! (buildroot appends netpbm-10.35.83.gz

[Sagaert Johan]

Hi Thomas

Thanks for the hint, but it did not work out because the configure script is no autoconf generated script but just an interactive
script with the same name !
I will use apt-get install netpbm instead of trying it to build it in buildroot, its a host tool only anyway.

In that case you should create a host package. The call to AUTOTARGETS should be:
$(eval $(call AUTOTARGETS,host))
and your commands should begin with HOST_...

See http://buildroot.uclibc.org/buildroot.html#add_packages for more information.
