Mkipkg Problem

[w14]

I've compiled the latest version of Bestcrypt. I set up vmware player with the cross compile environment as in jerrybme's howto.

The make and make install went fine after a bit of messing with the makefiles.

When I run mkipkg against the temp directory, I'm getting the error:

tar: --exclude=CONTROL: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: error exit delayed from previous errors

Everything seems fine ... all the files and directories are there, including the CONTROL directory with the control file.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Cheers,

Mike.

Its ok ... found the answer. Old version of mkipkg.

more specifically, you needed an old version of tar (eg 1.13  https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=23649)

 
I would rather use an "updated" version of mkipkg than downgrade to an old version of tar.

Perhaps you should edit your other posts on this subject (or delete them).

That's the one I've always been using and my tar is 1.15. Maybe try Meanie's package?:
