[U-Boot] Building U-Boot under Ubuntu 8.10

[U-Boot] Building U-Boot under Ubuntu 8.10

[cmfairfa at rockwellcollins.com]

I'm trying to build U-boot (2009.03) under Ubuntu 8.10.

I get the following error when building:

"as: unrecognized option '-mppc'"
"make[1]: *** [hello_world.o] Error 2"
"make[1]: Leaving directory '/opt/u-boot/examples'"
"make: *** [examples] Error 2"


I've built the same U-Boot source code on a windows XP machine with 
colinux.


Can anyone provide insight into how I can fix this?


Thanks.

what is the host architecture x86 or ppc?

If its x86 you need a cross compiler.

Kumar,
The host is x86.

Sorry. I should've mentioned that I installed the ELDK 4.2 for 
ppc-linux-x86. I"m using powerpc-linux-gcc for cross-compiling.


Thanks.

Dear cmfairfa at rockwellcollins.com,

In message <OF8E7A40DC.A763CF10-ON852575D2.00002464-852575D2.00005580@rockwellcollins.com> you wrote:

Did you also enable it by adding it to your PATH and by setting and
exporting the ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE variables?

My guess is that you forgot to set and export CROSS_COMPILE ...

[U-Boot] Building U-Boot under Ubuntu 8.10

[cmfairfa at rockwellcollins.com]

ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE are set and exported
(ARCH=ppc, CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-)


The problem appears to be with the assembler (as). The as: unrecognized 
option "-mppc" is what's killing me.


I get through the compilation of "make -C tools all"

The error happens during compilation of hello_world in "make -C examples 
all"


I'm going to try to use ELDK 4.1 instead of 4.2. The ELDK 4.1_AMCC iso 
worked on my Windows host with colinux.


Thanks.

...which is plain wrong. "powerpc-linux-" is NOIT a legal setting for
CROSS_COMPILE.

why is that ? 
it's just a prefix to whatever you compiled the toolkit to use no?

Because that's the way how the ELDK is designed.

At least with ELDK, which supports a wide range  pf  processor  fami-
lies,  it  also has to carry information about which CPU architecture
you are targeting for.

ELDK uses two methonds to find out what you  might  want  to  do:  it
checks  the  content of CROSS_COMPILE, and it checks the name you use
to run the tools.

If you set CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux- and run  "ppc_8xx-gcc"  there
is still some indication that, for example, you are on a system which
has  no FPU and only short cache lines. But with above usage, no such
information is available.

All this (including the legal values to be used for CROSS_COMPILE) is
described in the manual; please RTFM for details.

Ignoring the documentation and doing non-standard things is asking for
trouble.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

aaha I missed that he used ELDK never used that myself. I thought this
was u-boot specific and got a bit confused.

But if ELDK uses wrapper scripts around the real binaries that checks
certain variables it makes more sense.

It's not wrapper scripts but the binaries itself, but the effect is
the same.

Based on my limited understanding, it seems this should be a valid 
prefix.  If you have a moment, can you explain why it's not?  In my 
installation everything seems to point to 'powerpc-linux-*':

I already explained this.

For details, please see the documentation; see especially section
"3.6.A Table of possible values for $CROSS_COMPILE" at
http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDKUsage#CrossCompileValues

(note that this table does not mention all implications / effects  of
chosing CROSS_COMPILE - there are other compiler optiones affected as
well, i. e. things like -mfloat-gprs, -mspe, -mabi, etc.).

Best regards,
