[U-Boot-Users] Make for AmigaOneG3SE fails

Hi,
I am studying the feasibility of using the "x86 BIOS emulator" (in /board/MAI/bios_emulator) to initialize an ATI graphics card.
As a first step, I am trying to compile U-Boot for AmigaOneG3SE (which uses the bios_emulator), but there are lots of warnings and errors. I am correcting the code, but the errors are endless. At least some of them seem related to the toolchain or to changes in the U-Boot includes. For example (an error compiling unmodified code):
In file included from ../bios_emulator/scitech/include/x86emu.h:50, from ../bios_emulator/x86interface.c:1: ../bios_emulator/scitech/include/x86emu/types.h:42:23: sys/types.h: No such file or directory
Has anyone here compiled U-Boot for AmigaOne? If the answer is affirmative, which toolchain (and version) did you use for the cross-compile? Thanks in advance.
Best regards, Felipe.
P.S.: I use the ELDK compiler configured for ppc_74xx- under linux x86.

I'm afraid you have to dig through this mess - unfortunately the AmigaOneG3SE port has never been really maintained.

The port was added about 3 years ago (Nov 2002) in the U-Boot-0.2.0 time frame; it was workig by then, at least the Amiga folks released working binaries. I don't know if the code contributed back to the public source tree was ever clean and working - sorry, but I don't have access to such hardware, and there is no other maintainer for this port.

This should work fine. Problems are caused by the unmaintained source tree for this board.
Viele Grüße,

Thanks Wolfgang,

That's what I was afraid of, but I had to ask :-) . Eventually, I managed to compile the code (with lots of warnings and quick-and-dirty modifications). Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of time for this task, but if I get any positive result, I will send it to the mailing list.
Best regards, Felipe.
