[U-Boot-Users] Error on making u-boot

[SAM SONG]

Dear you all,

An error message came up when I used "make RPXlite_config"on my LINUX PC host as following:

ppc_8xx-objcopy -O srec timer timer.srec
ppc_8xx-objcopy -O binary hello_world.srec hello_world.bin 2>/dev/null
make[1]: *** [hello_world.bin] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/u-boot-1.0.0/examples'
make: *** [subdirs] Error 1

Have you met it?After masking three files,hello_world.bin,sched.bin
,timer.bin in Makefile of examples directory,it succeeded.But there aren't three files in the directory.I use Montavista Linux Pro 3.0.Any hints?

There was recently a patch which works around a bug in the montavista
objcopy. The problem is that it doesn't handle SREC input (even if you
use -I srec).

The workaround is to ignore the problem - like you say the make will
succeed eventually, or change the commands in the examples/Makefile like
this:

Near the rule that says:

  %.bin:	%.srec

Replace this line:

 	$(OBJCOPY) -O binary $< $@ 2>/dev/null

With this line:

	$(OBJCOPY) -O binary $(<:.srec=) $@ 2>/dev/null
