I just moved an old buildroot folder from an old VM to a newer one to consolidate. I thought that simply moving the folder, along with any dependent folders, and making the appropriate path/name changes would be all that is required to get it up and running in the new VM.

Unfortunately, this appears to not be the case as I am greeted with the following error upon attempting to build in this new VM:

# # configuration written to /home/mirion/mirion/buildroot-2013.05/.config # /usr/bin/make -j5 HOSTCC="/usr/bin/gcc" HOSTCXX="/usr/bin/g++" silentoldconfig make[1]: Entering directory '/home/mirion/mirion/buildroot-2013.05' BR2_DEFCONFIG='' KCONFIG_AUTOCONFIG=/home/mirion/mirion/buildroot-2013.05/output/build/buildroot-config/auto.conf KCONFIG_AUTOHEADER=/home/mirion/mirion/buildroot-2013.05/output/build/buildroot-config/autoconf.h KCONFIG_TRISTATE=/home/mirion/mirion/buildroot-2013.05/output/build/buildroot-config/tristate.config BUILDROOT_CONFIG=/home/mirion/mirion/buildroot-2013.05/.config /home/mirion/mirion/buildroot-2013.05/output/build/buildroot-config/conf --silentoldconfig Config.in *** Error during update of the configuration.

Are there any ideas as to what I can do to resolve this?

I did some poking around on google but could not find anything conclusive.

EDIT: Original VM was running Lubuntu 12.04, the new VM is running Ubuntu 17.10.

Thanks.

I switched to using "olddefconfig" instead, it seems to work.
