[U-Boot-Users] Compilation failure (gcc options..)

[U-Boot-Users] Compilation failure (gcc options..)

[Joe Steeve]

I get "arm-elf-gcc: unrecognized option `-MQ'" when generating
dependencies (in rules.mk). Google is not helping much. Why is this
option here??

Googling for this gives you for example this very helpful link:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.1.1/gcc/Preprocessor-Options.html#Pr
eprocessor-Options

Hint on googling: When looking for keywords that start with a dash put
them in quotes or else Google will only return pages that do *not*
contain these keywords. Additionally, limiting Google to a specific site
helps as well. So your Google search could have been

	gcc "-mq" site:gcc.gnu.org

So most likely your GCC tool chain is broken or too old. I am not an ARM
expert but the ELDK 4.0 from Denx
(http://www.denx.de/en/News/PressReleaseELDK40) is most likely a good
choice.

Thanks again., I knew that the '-' was screwing it up., but did not know
quoting it would help. :)

Yeah., the version of gcc i use is 2.95.3. It does not have the -MT/-MQ
options in it. I'll try the ELDK compilers :)
