You need to install libacl, liblzo etc:

for ubuntu run the following command:

sudo apt-get install uuid-dev libacl1-dev liblzo2-dev

Thanks, it works now.. I am able to compile mtd-utils and have mkfs.ubifs .o file.

I want to know what this means:

sudo mkfs.ubifs/mkfs.ubifs -r <path_to_rootfs>/ -m 2048 -e 126976 -c X -o ubifs.img
      where X = 3991 for 512MB NAND and X = 1948 for 256MB NAND flash

 "path to rootfs " means all the android_rootfs where all the root and system file copied after compilation, right. and in my case X=256 nand size.

Error: output file cannot be in the UBIFS root directory

Make sure that you are executing the mkfs.ubifs command from outside the android_rootfs/ directory.
