Dear sir,
I have a target board with a flash on it, and I¡¯d
like to put ppcboot-0.6.2 into it by a writer. But
when I compile ppcboot-0.6.2 under the environment of
RedHat Linux 6.2 and with the help of ppc_8xx-gcc
which is a compiling utility included by CDK1.2, the
following problems appeared.

1. A file can not be complied, the error message is:

>/usr/local/src/ppcboot/ppcboot->0.6.2/include/ppc_asm.tmpl:232:
Error:Rest of line >ignored. First >ignored character
is ¡®\¡¯.
>¡­
>¡­
>/usr/local/src/ppcboot/ppcboot->0.6.2/include/ppc_asm.tmpl:242:
Error:Rest of line >ignored. First >ignored character
is ¡®\¡¯.
>/usr/local/src/ppcboot/ppcboot->0.6.2/include/ppc_asm.tmpl:243:
Error:Rest of line >ignored. First >ignored character
is ¡®\¡¯.

These lines located in ppcboot-0.6.2/include/ppc_asm.
tmpl can be writed as follows:

>#define STD_EXCEPTION(n, label, hdlr)	\
>	. = n;				\
>label:					\
>	EXCEPTION_PROLOG;			\
>	lwz	r3,GOT(transfer_to_handler);\
>	mtlr	r3;		          \
>	addi	r3,r1,STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD; \
>	li	r20,MSR_KERNEL;		 \
>	rlwimi	r20,r23,0,25,25;		 \
>	blrl	; 			 \
.>L_ ## label :				 \
>  .long	  hdlr - _start + EXC_OFF_SYS_RESET;\
>  .long	int_return - _start + EXC_OFF_SYS_RESET

Can you give me a hint to explain what happened.

2. When I read the Makefile of ppcboot-0.6.2/ (i.e.
ppcboot-0.6.2/Makefile), I find 4 lines like this:

> subdirs:
>  @for dir in $(SUBDIRS) ; do $(MAKE) -C $$dir ||
>exit 1 ; done
>depend dep:
> @for dir in $(SUBDIRS) ; do $(MAKE) -C >$$dir
.depend ; done

but I can not find the definition of ¡°MAKE¡± in this
file or the other files included by this package. Can
you tell me what ¡°MAKE ¡± is and where the definition
locates?

    3. If you think that I use the wrong versions of
RedHat Linux, or that I use the wrong CDK , or that
the way I compile ppcboot-0.6.2 is absolutely stupid,
please don't hesitate giving me a message.

   Thanks in advance.
          Best Regards
                 Yours sincerely  Xuelong Wang

I just replied to that. Don't waste your time (and ours!!!) with  old
versions, use a current version of PPCBoot instead.

AND PLEASE SEND PPCBoot RELATED QUESTIONS TO THE PPCBoot MAILING LIST!

Please get ppcboot-0.7.3 or the latest CVS snapshot.

This is most certainly NOT the error message as you read it. With all
these funny characters it's hard to guess where it complained.

Your file got corrupted. Please unpack it from the original  tarball.
Make  sure  to  use  "binary"  mode  when  copying  the file to other
filesystem types.

Please see the man page for the make command.

Well, RH-6.2 is a bit old, too, but it works for me; and the HHL  CDK
works here, too.
