[U-Boot] U-boot2013:07-Recompile with -fPIC error for mips64 board

[krishna dwivedi]

Hi All,

I am cross-compiling u-boot2013-07 for mips64 board.These steps i have
followed:
1)I have exported envionment variables CC,LD,AS,CCAS,AR and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
2)export CROSS_COMPILE=mips64-unknown-elf-
3)make tools
4)make board_config
5)make all
 Linking error:relocation R_X86_64_32 against `board_init_f' can not be
used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/arch/mips/cpu.mips64./../../../lib/start.o: could not read symbols: Bad
value.Please provide me pointer to resolve this.

Regards,
Krishna

This is NOT the noral order of steps.  There is no need to build
"tools" manually, and in no way this should be done before the config
target.

I think I asked this before:  which _exact_ machine configuration are
you using, i. e. what is your board name?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

Hi Wolfgang,

I am using xlp832 mips64  netlogic board.I referred these steps from u-boot
README file.
Configuration:
TARGET                      arch        CPU
BoardName
brcm8xx                      mips        mips64      brcm8xx
-              -
Options

This board is not part of the mainline distribution, so we have never
seen the actual code for it.  we cannot help you with unknown
out-of-tree code.  Also, you don't follow the recommended way to build
the code, as I've pointed out before.

With out-of-tree code you're basically on your own.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

That said, there may be good reasons for what you did beyond obsequi-
ous sycophantic parody. Perhaps you might be so kind as to elucidate.

Hi Wolfgang,

Can you please let me know on which mips board you have compiled this
u-boot now.

Please understand that the u-boot community supports only those 
platforms whose support has been mainlined. If you are making changes to 
the u-boot for your custom board, then the community may not be of much 
help. For your case, you must contact your hardware provider (Cavium or 
whatever it is).

You can see all the MIPS boards supported by the community by looking at 
boards.cfg file.

And please follow the community rules strictly (such as avoiding top 
posting etc.) if you want a genuine response. Otherwise, your messages 
would be considered simply as noise and no one would bother to respond.

Hi Amit,

Sure.But i am trying to compile U-boot for default board qemu-mips without
any changes  that is supported in boards.cfg.

Krishna
