Re: [U-Boot-Users] MPC8360EPB: error while compiling start.S

Hi, I did install git. But, I'm facing the following problems: 1) "git clone" gives the following error: git: fatal error: `chdir' failed: permission denied. I'm running git as a normal user - not as root. (I cannot get "root" permission on the server.)
2) I'm inside a firewall. Do I need to make some settings for git to work with external websites?
Thanks, Ananth. ---------- Initial Header -----------

Hi, Thanks for the quick response;but, I'm unable to download it using git.
Can you tell us why? Are you having problems with your git installation, or do you just not want to install git? If the latter, I strongly suggest you install and learn git, because that's the tool used for U-Boot and Linux development, so you may as well learn it now.
On the other hand, if you're having problems with git, we can help you with that.

Are you using the git:// or http:// protocols? If you're using git://, try replacing that with http://, which is meant for firewalls. We have the same problem here in Freescale, so we always need to use http://.
