mkfs.jffs on arm

[Igor Trevisan]

Hi all!

I have to port mkfs.jffs and erase commands on my
EDB7312 board (arm core by CirrusLogic) but I'm having
some problems...
Are there any suggestion to cross-compile mtd utilities
for an arm target?
Thanks inadvance..
	Igor.

mkfs.jffs on arm

[Igor Trevisan]

Thanks!

Modifiing Makefile in /utils with the right CROSS definition
and doing make util from /mtd did the job...
but not completely.
I could build almost all the utilities related with JFFS
a part from mkfs.jffs2 (mkfs.jffs is ok).
This is how the compile flow ends...

Please do not place your reply above the quoted text. Place it below,
and quote _only_ what is absolutely necessary when replying.

You need zlib cross-compiled and installed such that your cross-compiler
can find zlib.h (and libz.so or libz.a).

It seems to be including the wrong version of linux/jffs2.h. It should
be including the one from '../include/linux', due to the 
'CFLAGS += -I../include' in util/Makefile.

Tanks for the suggestions!
Mkfs.jffs2 compiling process took some steps forward but...
it's still ending with errors!
In the following lines you can see the messages...

I think it's because it's missing some library created with file
in mtd/lib. I tried to cross-compile mtd/lib content but I had a lot
of problems...
Any new suggestion ?
Thanks a lot in advance...
	Igor.

What version of zlib.h is it including? It looks like it might be
including the kernel's version instead of the one for the userspace
zlib.

Well... forgive my ignorance but...
What does it mean?
Exactly which file have I to try to include and which ones not?
Thanks for the time you (I hope) will spend for me!
:-)
