Hello,

I'm trying to port an application from an old system to run after u-boot is initialized. The application uses C++ classes. It was modified to remove the code that utilized the old processor. The application compiles using the cross-compiler by itself, by executing the command: ppc_4xxFP-g++ program.cpp -o program

However, if I add u-boot specific functions, it will not compile (as expected).

To fix this I tried to build the application as a u-boot example. I edited the Makefile in the examples directory and added the line: ELF-ppc += program

When building u-boot, it fails to compile the example program. It seems that the cross-compiler is not used for g++, since the following occurs:

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/chris/build_envs/ppc-linux/u-boot-ppc4xx/examples/standalone' g++ -g -Os -mrelocatable -fPIC -ffixed-r14 -meabi -D__KERNEL__ -DTEXT_BASE=0xFFFA0000 -I/home/chris/build_envs/ppc-linux/u-boot-ppc4xx/include -fno-builtin -ffreestanding -nostdinc -isystem /home/chris/build_envs/ppc-linux/usr/bin/../lib/gcc/powerpc-linux/4.2.2/include -pipe -DCONFIG_PPC -D__powerpc__ -DCONFIG_4xx -ffixed-r2 -mstring -msoft-float -Wa,-m405 -mcpu=405 -I.. -c -o program.o program.cpp `-mcpu=' is deprecated.

If I change the file to a C file (program.c) and remove the C++ dependent classes, the program compiles along with u-boot without error.

Does u-boot support C++ example programs and if so, how can I build one?
