Can't compile anymore! creative.c:24:17: error: elf.h: No such file or directory

[daniel.weck]

UPDATE: I have downloaded elf.h and elftypes.h into /usr/include/ from the official Apple Darwin source:

So far Rockbox is compiling...

If it works, this is worth adding into the Wiki instructions. (I don't have permissions so please can someone do it ?)

Dear Rockbox experts,

I'm used to compile my own Rockbox binaries from SVN, as I have been experimenting with plugin implementations.

I'm using the cross-compiler on Mac OS X (Tiger 10.4.11), for my Toshiba Gigabeat F.

Today I get a compile error in both SIM and NORMAL modes (missing "elf.h" header).

Note: I had not compiled Rockbox for a while, so after I saw the error, I made sure to: clean everything up, re-install the ELF cross-compiler using rockboxdev.sh, and of course use tools/configure.sh to re-generate the Makefile.

EDIT: Here is the result of "configure":
