[U-Boot-Users] Error building 1.0

[Ed Okerson]

I am trying to build u-boot-1.0.0 for the dbau1x00 platform with
gcc-2.95.4 and get the following error:

Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

I tried the ELDK from www.denx.de and it compiles fine.
With hardhat crosscompiler, I get the same error.

[U-Boot-Users] Error building 1.0

[Ed Okerson]

I guess I should have mentioned that I tried with the hardhat as well.  I
am not familiar with ELDK, I guess it's time to learn!  While playing last
night I found that if I put:

#define __PTRDIFF_TYPE__ long int

before the include of stdarg.h the file compiles fine.  I tried to include
stddef.h (where that define normally lives) but that caused all kinds of
other errors.  This is definately not a good fix, but I think the error is
probably in the gcc headers.

U-Boot takes some care not to include  any  headers  from  the  build
host,  the  remaining  headers  are provided by the (cross) compiler.
Normally, __PTRDIFF_TYPE__ gets defined by the stddef.h  header  file
which   belongs   to   the  C  compiler  (normally  to  be  found  in
".../lib/gcc-lib/ppc-linux/?version?/include/stddef.h").

With the ELDK this contains:

	#ifndef __PTRDIFF_TYPE__
	#define __PTRDIFF_TYPE__ long int
	#endif

Check what your compiler defines there....

Best regards,
