Dear John,

We are also using 3.81 make (Centos 5 distro) with ELDK 4.1 version downloaded from www.denx.de and have had no problems using the u-boot.zip srcs from www.xilinx.com/ml410_p, though we use uboot for
Well, I have to admit that I don't know Xilinx's U-Boot code, This list is intended for suppoort of the publicly available ("official") source tree only.
The targets in examples are example programs for uboot to load/exec and is not part of u-boot. You can avoid building in examples.
Of cours ethe examples are a part of the U-Boot distribution.
But the build problem appears to be due to examples/Makefile syntax. Try:
-BIN = hello_world hello_world.bin +BIN = hello_world.bin hello_world
... similar corrections for the other targets, and finally
-all: .depend $(OBJS) $(LIB) $(BIN) $(SREC) +all: .depend $(OBJS) $(LIB) $(SREC) $(BIN)
This is not a correction. It is not even a work around. No part in a Makefile should in any way depend on the order in which targets are listed.
My feeling is that you are hunting a dead rat, i. e. a bug that has been fixed in the public U-Boot tree a long, long time ago.
Please try using a current version of U-Bot (1.3.1).
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
