In your patch, you should probably replace the place-holder "...some environment variables..." with setting some actual environment variables.

I think I have addressed the problem with the make file, but it still
silently does not build.  I am attaching a complete patch.

Yes, indeed, but John was saying that the build of his package doesn't
even start, which I understood as "I run make", but nothing happens.

Oh, John, remember to do a 'make dhcpcd-dirclean' every time you want
to retry the build of your package. Once a package has been built in
output/build/<somepkg>-<someversion>/, Buildroot doesn't rebuild it.

Best regards,

Thomas

Yes, the place holder is bad, so I took it out.
I ran: make dhcpcd-dirclean

My buildroot-2011.11/.config  holds
BR2_PACKAGE_DHCPCD=y
BR2_INET_IPV6=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_INET_IPV6=y

I cleaned up using:
rm -rf \
./dl/dhcpcd-3.2.3.tar.bz2 \
./output/build/dhcpcd-3.2.3 \
./output/build/buildroot-config/br2/package/dhcpcd.h \
./output/target/etc/init.d/dhcpcd.sh \
./output/target/usr/bin/dhcpcd

But make still does not do anything for dhcpcd.

If you have dl/dhcpcd-3.2.3.tar.bz2 in your dl/ directory, then it
means that the package build process was started.

Can you do:

make dhcpcd-dirclean
make 2>&1 | tee logfile

Put the contents of logfile on http://code.bulix.org, and post the URL?

Thanks,

Thomas

Nothing besides that? Really weird, it all works fine from here. I'm
out of ideas for now, sorry. But again, if the dhcpcd tarball was
downloaded to dl/, then for sure at least at some point your
package .mk file got used.

Best regards,

Thomas

The version that was downloaded was from the make file that you said
wasn't very good, so I tried to make a new makefile but it just doesn't
work.  

Could it be a problem that I am using buildroot-2011.11?
My project can't really upgrade right now, but I wonder if that could be
the cause.

Aaaah, you're using 2011.11!

So, yes indeed that explains it all.

Change the last line from:

$(eval $(generic-package))

to:

$(eval $(call GENTARGETS))
