Hi,

Sorry if I didn't make it clear enough. I'm using version 3.0.4 of gcc. I downloaded a copy of u-boot-0.3.0 and I'm seeing the same error:

make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/myhong/u-boot-0.3.0/drivers' make[1]: Entering directory `/home/myhong/u-boot-0.3.0/post' powerpc-linux-gcc -Wa,-gstabs -D__ASSEMBLY__ -g -Os -mrelocatable -ffixed-r14 -meabi -mrelocatable -ffixed-r14 -meabi -D__KERNEL__ -DTEXT_BASE=0x40000000 -I/home/myhong/u-boot-0.3.0/include -fno-builtin -pipe -DCONFIG_PPC -D__powerpc__ -DCONFIG_8xx -ffixed-r2 -ffixed-r29 -mstring -mcpu=860 -msoft-float -DCONFIG_PPC -D__powerpc__ -DCONFIG_8xx -ffixed-r2 -ffixed-r29 -mstring -mcpu=860 -msoft-float -c -o cache_8xx.o /home/myhong/u-boot-0.3.0/post/cache_8xx.S powerpc-linux-gcc -g -Os -mrelocatable -ffixed-r14 -meabi -mrelocatable -ffixed-r14 -meabi -D__KERNEL__ -DTEXT_BASE=0x40000000 -I/home/myhong/u-boot-0.3.0/include -fno-builtin -pipe -DCONFIG_PPC -D__powerpc__ -DCONFIG_8xx -ffixed-r2 -ffixed-r29 -mstring -mcpu=860 -msoft-float -DCONFIG_PPC -D__powerpc__ -DCONFIG_8xx -ffixed-r2 -ffixed-r29 -mstring -mcpu=860 -msoft-float -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -c -o post.o post.c {standard input}: Assembler messages: {standard input}:676: Error: Relocation cannot be done when using -mrelocatable {standard input}:682: Error: Relocation cannot be done when using -mrelocatable {standard input}:688: Error: Relocation cannot be done when using -mrelocatable make[1]: *** [post.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/myhong/u-boot-0.3.0/post' make: *** [subdirs] Error 1 myhong@nemo ~/u-boot-0.3.0 $powerpc-linux-gcc -dumpversion 3.0.4

I'm working with an MPC860T on a custom designed board, using ppcboot-2.0.0. I've only recently tried to turn on the POSTs that is

PPCBoot is dead. Please use U-Boot instead.

offered with ppcboot/uboot and have tried to #define CONFIG_POST (CFG_POST_RTC | \ CFG_POST_MEMORY | \ CFG_POST_CPU | \ CFG_POST_CACHE | \ CFG_POST_UART | \ CFG_POST_ETHER \ )

However, on compilation, I get the following:

{standard input}: Assembler messages: {standard input}:513: Error: Relocation cannot be done when using -mrelocatable {standard input}:519: Error: Relocation cannot be done when using -mrelocatable {standard input}:525: Error: Relocation cannot be done when using -mrelocatable

You have omitted the interesting part: the command line causing the error. It seems to me you are not using the correct command line switches.

Any ideas? should I be able to compile this with version 3.0.4? If so, how can I get this to work?

Version 3.0.4 of what?

Best regards,
