[U-Boot] Building U-Boot under Ubuntu 8.10
I'm trying to build U-boot (2009.03) under Ubuntu 8.10.
I get the following error when building:
"as: unrecognized option '-mppc'" "make[1]: *** [hello_world.o] Error 2" "make[1]: Leaving directory '/opt/u-boot/examples'" "make: *** [examples] Error 2"
I've built the same U-Boot source code on a windows XP machine with colinux.
Can anyone provide insight into how I can fix this?
Thanks.

what is the host architecture x86 or ppc?
If its x86 you need a cross compiler.

Kumar, The host is x86.
Sorry. I should've mentioned that I installed the ELDK 4.2 for ppc-linux-x86. I"m using powerpc-linux-gcc for cross-compiling.
Thanks.

at what point in the build do you get this error?

Dear cmfairfa@rockwellcollins.com,

Did you also enable it by adding it to your PATH and by setting and exporting the ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE variables?
My guess is that you forgot to set and export CROSS_COMPILE ...
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE are set and exported (ARCH=ppc, CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux-)
The problem appears to be with the assembler (as). The as: unrecognized option "-mppc" is what's killing me.
I get through the compilation of "make -C tools all"
The error happens during compilation of hello_world in "make -C examples all"
I'm going to try to use ELDK 4.1 instead of 4.2. The ELDK 4.1_AMCC iso worked on my Windows host with colinux.
Thanks.

why is that ? it's just a prefix to whatever you compiled the toolkit to use no?

Because that's the way how the ELDK is designed.

At least with ELDK, which supports a wide range pf processor fami- lies, it also has to carry information about which CPU architecture you are targeting for.
ELDK uses two methonds to find out what you might want to do: it checks the content of CROSS_COMPILE, and it checks the name you use to run the tools.
If you set CROSS_COMPILE=powerpc-linux- and run "ppc_8xx-gcc" there is still some indication that, for example, you are on a system which has no FPU and only short cache lines. But with above usage, no such information is available.
All this (including the legal values to be used for CROSS_COMPILE) is described in the manual; please RTFM for details.
Ignoring the documentation and doing non-standard things is asking for trouble.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk

aaha I missed that he used ELDK never used that myself. I thought this was u-boot specific and got a bit confused.
But if ELDK uses wrapper scripts around the real binaries that checks certain variables it makes more sense.

It's not wrapper scripts but the binaries itself, but the effect is the same.

Based on my limited understanding, it seems this should be a valid prefix. If you have a moment, can you explain why it's not? In my installation everything seems to point to 'powerpc-linux-*':

For details, please see the documentation; see especially section "3.6.A Table of possible values for $CROSS_COMPILE" at http://www.denx.de/wiki/DULG/ELDKUsage#CrossCompileValues
(note that this table does not mention all implications / effects of chosing CROSS_COMPILE - there are other compiler optiones affected as well, i. e. things like -mfloat-gprs, -mspe, -mabi, etc.).
