[U-Boot] Cross-compiling U-Boot on Mac OS X -- can't find crc32.c?
I'm trying to cross-compile U-Boot on a Mac OS X system, which is BSD-like. I have a toolchain already created - I've been able to compile the Linux kernel with no problems. I figured U-Boot would be easier, but instead it's doing a lot of weird stuff.
So when I run "make", I get this:
$ make ARCH=ppc for dir in tools examples api_examples ; do make -C $dir _depend ; done make[1]: Nothing to be done for `_depend'. make[1]: Circular hello_world.c <- hello_world.c dependency dropped. make[1]: Circular sched.c <- sched.c dependency dropped. make[1]: Circular stubs.c <- stubs.c dependency dropped. make[1]: Circular ppc_longjmp.S <- ppc_longjmp.S dependency dropped. make[1]: Circular ppc_setjmp.S <- ppc_setjmp.S dependency dropped. make[1]: Nothing to be done for `_depend'. make[1]: Nothing to be done for `_depend'. make -C tools all cc -Wall -pedantic -idirafter /Volumes/Goliath/Users/timur/dev/u-boot.git/include -idirafter /Volumes/Goliath/Users/timur/dev/u-boot.git/include2 -idirafter /Volumes/Goliath/Users/timur/dev/u-boot.git/include -I /Volumes/Goliath/Users/timur/dev/u-boot.git/libfdt -I /Volumes/Goliath/Users/timur/dev/u-boot.git/tools -DTEXT_BASE=0xFE000000 -DUSE_HOSTCC -D__KERNEL_STRICT_NAMES -O -c -o crc32.o crc32.c powerpc-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1: crc32.c: No such file or directory powerpc-apple-darwin9-gcc-4.0.1: no input files make[1]: *** [crc32.o] Error 1 make: *** [tools] Error 2
crc32.c is in lib_generic/, but the current directory is tools/, so I'm not surprised it doesn't compile. Has anyone tried this before? What am I missing?

IIRC this is fix on the Mainline
I'm not surprised it doesn't compile. Has anyone tried this before? What am I missing?
to compile on Mac OS you will have to move to the laster Mainline , fix the lib_ftd endian.h and byteswap.h does not exist on MAC OS X IIRC and fix the _depend Makefile target I've start to fix it but never find time to finish (some patch are already mainline)
Best Regards, J.

That's what I've been using, and that's what's broken.

Well, I tried to fix it, but I can't figure it out. I just don't understand why it's so broken. The errors I get are so confusing, and I can't figure out what the Makefile is doing when it fails. So I give up.
Fortunately, I found a version of mkimage that builds just fine as-is, and that's all I care about for now. If anyone else is interested, you can find it here:
http://packages.debian.org/sid/uboot-mkimage
Just download the tarball and run 'make'.
Wolfgang, I think you seriously need to revamp your build process. The kernel is orders of magnitude more complex than U-Boot, and yet I can build it just fine on OS X.

Hm... Do I? It works fine for me...

It's you who has OS X, and who has a problem. Only when Ah itchez, Ah scratchez.

Just so I'm clear on this, you're saying that you're not really concerned about how well U-Boot works for other people?

No, people that aren't running OS X cannot debug problems that happen when running on OS X.

That sounds like you want Wolfgang to fix a problem he doesn't have and cannot reproduce, since he isn't running OS X (to the best of my knowledge). http://xkcd.com/583/

No, what I really want is the build process to be simpler so that other people can fix problems with it. I don't even understand how it works when it *does* work.
A functioning build process on OS X will allow me to do more work on U-Boot, adding more features and fixing more bugs, than I normally would be able to do. But I can't fix every problem myself.

again, that is your itch to scratch. people who are doing significant amount of work in u-boot have no problem with it as it exists now.

this is open source. if you are unwilling or unable to do the work, i imagine there are plenty of people out there willing to take your money and do it for you. -mike

What am I missing?
Is this "make" a GNU make? Which version?

GNU Make 3.81
I've searched the archives for this mailing list, and I see that this issue comes up every now and then, but never with any resolution. If I could just get mkimage compiled, that would be okay for now. But according to Jean-Chrisophe's email, it looks like this would be not be trivial to fix.
