Dear Wolfgang,
What version of host gcc is needed for building the tools such as mkimage.exe? My embedded Linux development environment is Cygwin
(1.3.22)
based and includes gcc 3.4.4 which gives compiler errors for versions of U-Boot 1.3.3 and later.
Do you also get these errors for the current code, i. e. top of tree from git repository?
I have downloaded the code from the git using the command:
git clone git://git.denx.de/u-boot.git
The errors that I see are now slightly different. It is complaining that endian.h and byteswap.h don't exist - and that appears to be correct for the system that I have. The error regarding 'uintptr_t' has been fixed based on the patch from Jerry Van Baren but I still get an number of parse errors regarding image.h.
Your thoughts and comments would be much appreciated. Compiler output is shown below.
Thanks and regards,
Andy.
