[U-Boot] compile the u-boot

[Jilin Zhou]

Hi there,

Today I downloaded u-boot-2011.12. When I tried to build the u-boot for omap4_panda, I go the following error msg:

/u-boot-2011.12/include/common.h:744: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 'va_list'
In file included from lib/asm-offsets.c:18:
/u-boot-2011.12/include/common.h:777: error: expected declaration specifiers or '...' before 'va_list'
make: *** [lib/asm-offsets.s] Error 1

What is the issue?

Thanks,

Jilin

Seems it is on your side: I don't get these errors when I build this 
board, with ELDK42.

What compiler and which build command do you us?

[U-Boot] compile the u-boot

Hi Albert,

Thanks for the reply. My host environment is Mac. Our company has a cross compiler toolchain  for armv7.

The commands I run are as follows:
1. export CROSS_COMPILE=ntoarmv7-
2. make omap4_panda_config
3. make all

We use this cross compiler every day and it should be fine.

Anywhere I made it wrong? Thanks.

Jilin

Meybe it has some problem?

Maybe not fine enough for U-Boot ;-)

> Anywhere I made it wrong? Thanks.

I cannot see any problems either - tested with ELDK 4.2 through 5.2.

For example:

-> eldk-switch -r 5.2 armv7a
Setup for armv7a (using ELDK 5.2)
-> ./MAKEALL omap4_panda
Configuring for omap4_panda board...
panda.c: In function 'misc_init_r':
panda.c:78:2: warning: implicit declaration of function 'gpio_direction_input' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]

panda.c: In function 'misc_init_r':

(please avoid top-posting in the future)

Seems like your toolchain is the cause of the messages, and frankly, I 
don't see why it complains. The 'va_list' type is not a particular type 
except in variadic argument processing macros.
