ELDK based on YDL 3.0?

ELDK based on YDL 3.0?

[Jeff Stevens]

I am getting ready to build a filesystem based on the
YellowDog Linux 3.0 release.  However, when I
downloaded the build environment from www.denx.de, I
notice that the ELDK_BUILD script already points to
the 3.0 SRPMS.  Does that mean that there will be an
ELDK release based on YDL 3.0 soon?  If so, what
kernel version will it use?

Thanks,
   Jeff Stevens

This is correct. We are working on it. It should have been  ready  at
least  3  weeks  ago, but we're still fixing problems. If you want to
use the stable version 2.1.1 instead you  can  find  in  on  the  CVS
server tagged as ELDK_2_1_1

2.4.20 probably. Maybe something later - since we are so late  anyway
we  might  as  well  wait and use a kernel that supports the MPC5200,
too.

Why are you asking? Do you need some special version?

Best regards,

That should be no problem. Except  for  a  few  rare  situations  the
kernel  is  completely  independend  of  the  tool chain and userland
applications.

No, this is not  correct.  We're  using  the  "old"  (2.1)  ELDK  for
production all the time, including latest kernel versions.

Don't wait. The problem might not be in the ELDK but somwhere else.


libarg.h? Never heard of that. Which file attempts to include this?

You cannot propel yourself forward by patting yourself on the back.
