[Buildroot] Link error when building latest rootfs for i.MX6

[Buildroot] Link error when building latest rootfs for i.MX6

[Jason Jiang]

Hi,

I had a problem building the latest rootfs for my i.MX6 board. I got the latest one from http://www.buildroot.org/download.html. I tried to build it in the following way:

$ make menuconfig...

#  Target ARM (Little-Endian)

#  Target Cortex A-9

#  Under toolchain:

#      External

#      Sourcery Codebench ARM 2013.05

#      Downloaded and installed

#  Under System Configuration, chose ttymxc0 as the Port to run a getty (login prompt) on,

#  Under Target Packages->Filesystem and Flash utilities: enable dosfstools and e2fsprogs

#  Under Filesystem Images, selected Output cpio - gzipped; tar the root filesystem

$ make busybox-menuconfig...

#  Do nothing, just exit (this step probably isn't necessary).

$ make V=1 2>&1 | tee make.out

But at the end, I got link error: "/opt/freescale/usr/local/gcc-4.6.2-glibc-2.13-linaro-multilib-2011.12/fsl-linaro-toolchain/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-fsl-linux-gnueabi/4.6.2/../../../../arm-fsl-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory". I googled around for the whole day and just couldn't figure out the solution. Could you help please?

Thank you,
Jason

Could you provide your .config file?

This is not possible: either you use a toolchain downloaded by
Buildroot, or that is already installed on your system.

It clearly looks like the toolchain you're using is *not* Sourcery
Codebench ARM 2013.05, but a different Freescale toolchain, which we
have never tested.

Where can I get this toolchain, in order to test it?

Best regards,

Thomas
