Hallo


Just like to report problem when compiling U-boot tools

After building U-boot.bin wit h make -all
I tried to compile U-boot tools with
make env
or
make tools-all

It reports error:

fw_env.c: In function `flash_write_buf':
fw_env.c:860: error: `MTD_DATAFLASH' undeclared (first use in this function)
fw_env.c:860: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
fw_env.c:860: error: for each function it appears in.)
fw_env.c: In function `flash_read':
fw_env.c:979: error: `MTD_DATAFLASH' undeclared (first use in this function)
fw_env.c: In function `fw_env_open':
fw_env.c:1149: error: `MTD_DATAFLASH' undeclared (first use in this function)
gmake[2]: *** [fw_printenv] Error 1
Makefile:523: *** [env] Error 2



Adding definition of MTD_DATAFLASH
#define MTD_DATAFLASH 6
in
./tools/env/fw_env.c

which is defined in
./include/linux/mtd/mtd-abi.h

compiles ok.

the kernel headers installed in your host system are out of date.  looking at 
the kernel history, it seems they're *very* old as MTD_DATAFLASH was added in 
Feb 2005.  i could understand making concessions for semi-recent additions, 
but not for something this old.

not a bug in u-boot ... update your distro's kernel headers.
