Hi all, I've downloaded the latest u-boot-1.1.1 and I'm trying to compile, but I get this error at the end... any idea? Toolchain: cross-3.2 (from arm linux) regards

You run into the same problem i had. It is not a problem with the toolchain, it is due to the fact how the makefile in examples is written.

When you first run make without arm-linux-gcc in the path make does a lot, but it created only empty .depend files (because of compiler not found). Afterwards you include arm-linux-gcc in the path and run make again. Everything is running then except the examples directory.

Make does not compile hello_world.c, instead it uses a builtin implicit rule to make hello_world (there is no dependency from OBJS and the explicit dependency for hello_world.o is missing, because of empty .depend). When you run make -r (no builtin implicit rules) it works.

Work around: make clobber (deletes your wrong .depend) mkconfig ... adding arm-linux-gcc to your path make

Hint to Wolfgang: If you add OBJS to the all rule in Makefile for examples, it will work in any case. all: .depend $(LIB) $(OBJS) $(SREC) $(BIN)
