[U-Boot] problem building fw_printenv

[U-Boot] problem building fw_printenv

[twebb]

I'm having problems building fw_printenv.  I'm sure it's simple but
I'm just not getting it.

I'm working with u-boot 2009.01-rc1.  I have the environment variable
CROSS_COMPILE set, and then execute "make env" from the top of the
u-boot source tree.  Capture is below.  I don't had "stdint.h"
anywhere in my environment.  Any ideas what I have wrong?

Thanks,
twebb

Does anyone have any ideas on this?  I'm still stuck.  Though I feel
certain it's some sort of environment problem, I can't figure it out.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

This appears to be cross-compiling the tools that run on the host (i.e. 
native).  Odd.

Download a stdint.h and put it somewhere in your include path?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stdint.h#Downloads

I'm not sure why you don't have stdint.h, I would expect it to be 
supplied by your host gcc installation.

I think it comes from the libc, so it wouldn't be present if someone 
just installed binutils+gcc for standalone development.

Great, that was the clue.  I was compiling using cross-compile tools
from android that don't use a standard libc.  When I changed to using
Codesourcery tools, I got farther...

jb at jb:u-boot-arm$ make env ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-
make -C tools/env all MTD_VERSION= || exit 1
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jb/work-1130/boot/u-boot-arm/tools/env'
arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -Wall -DUSE_HOSTCC
-I/home/jb/work-1130/boot/u-boot-arm/include crc32.c  fw_env.c
fw_env_main.c -o fw_printenv
fw_env.c:43:27: error: mtd/mtd-user.h: No such file or directory

So then, I have this problem with mtd-user.h not being found.  If I
define MTD_VERSION=old, it then uses mtd.h and gets further but
encounters another error within mtd.h.

jb at jb:u-boot-arm$ make env ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-
make -C tools/env all MTD_VERSION=old || exit 1
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jb/work-1130/boot/u-boot-arm/tools/env'
arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc -Wall -DUSE_HOSTCC
-I/home/jb/work-1130/boot/u-boot-arm/include -DMTD_OLD crc32.c
fw_env.c  fw_env_main.c -o fw_printenv
In file included from fw_env.c:40:
/home/jb/work-1130/boot/u-boot-arm/include/linux/mtd/mtd.h:143: error:
expecteddeclaration specifiers or '...' before 'phys_addr_t'
make[1]: *** [fw_printenv] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jb/work-1130/boot/u-boot-arm/tools/env'
make: *** [env] Error 1

Seems like I shouldn't have to define MTD_VERSION=old in the first
place, but without it no mtd-user.h file.  Any more suggestions?

Thanks,

I'm tempted to try a malapropism on Tom Christiansen's quote: "The
use of Android crippleware systems is a sin that carries with it its
own punishment." ;-)

There will probably more problems to follow...

Try a sane build environment?

I have the same problems building this.  We need to define phys_addr_t 
somewhere if we're going to include u-boot internal headers in a user tool.

I did not see real solution on the list, so i will post mine :)

The trick (for me) was to install the mtd-utils headers into the build environment.
I.e. install the contents of mtd-utils/include/mtd  into $(your_buildenv)/usr/include/mtd.
I had to to this manually, since make install of mtd-utils does not install the headers.

You will find mtd-utils e.g. at ftp://ftp.infradead.org/pub/mtd-utils/.
There is probably a git also for the mtd-utils.

I am using mtd-utils_1.0.0 and should upgrade but for now 1.0.0 will have to do.

Hope this helps others that will run into the problem and do not have "sane" build env.
