[U-Boot-Users] Uboot compiling problem...

[Stephan Magnier]

Hello there,

I have some problems with the generation of the U-boot

I am using the following version :
Uboot is 1.0.2
ELDK 3.0

>[root at linux-three u-boot]# make TQM823L_config
>rm -f include/config.h include/config.mk
>Configuring for TQM823L board...

Seems to be OK


"Make all" gives me this :

I think this must be an older (much  older)  version  of  U-Boot.  It
cannot  be  compiled  with the newer versions of the GNU toolchain as
included with ELDK-3.0.

[WD]
Please make sure to use a more recent version of U-Boot, for  example
the  one  that  is  included with the ELDK (see for example directory
/opt/eldk/ppc_8xx/usr/src/u-boot-1.0.2).


My installation of U-boot-1.0.2 (downloaded separtely from the "Leo"
website) is placed at the same level of the ELDK... but I don't think that
could be a real problem.... isn't it ? (path seems to be also recognised? )

But could you please tell me why, the make file is referring to the
Hello_world file ??
AFAIK, there is no "hello_world.c" file installed by default with the ELDK
???

regards,

Stephane

It's one of the example 'standalone' applications that come with U-Boot.
FWIW, I occasionally have this same problem when compiling. I just
change examples/Makefile to stop it compiling the files that generate
errors.

Can you please get used to use standard quoting rules? In  this  text
above  it  is impossible to see which part was your question and what
was my answer to it.

[That was me, too.]

Indeed.

The code example you quoted is definitely NOT with U-Boot-1.0.2

Because we are bulding the example standalone applications?

Of course there is. It's (assuming default installation directory) at
/opt/eldk/ppc_*/usr/src/u-boot-1.0.2/examples/hello_world.c

Please check again (ideally before posting).

Can you please point out which files give you errors?

Please include the error messages, for which board configuration this
happens, which version of U-Boot source code  and  which  version  of
which cross compiler toolchain you are using.


It is more helpful to report problems than just to silence the  error
messages.

Hi,

Odd...it's not doing it now. I'm using MontaVista Pro 3.1 as the compile
toolset, U-Boot 1.1.0. The error was very similar to the one posted by
the other poster, something about 'option `-n' is ambiguous', as well as
something like 'unexpected token FFFF0000 (I think this is the base
address). This was while compiling the example programs.

If it happens again, I'll be sure to post to the list with the exact
errors.

True, and apologies for not doing so. As it was only the example
programs (that I had no need for at the time) I just fixed the symptom
and carried on.

I'll provide more info if I see it again.
