[U-Boot-Users] Cannot compile fw_env tools in u-boot-1.1.4
I go under u-boot-1.1.4/tools/env/ and try to do make but I receive the following error -> make ppc_8xx-gcc -Wall -DUSE_HOSTCC crc32.c fw_env.c fw_env_main.c -o fw_printenv In file included from fw_env.c:34: /opt/eldk_3.1.1/ppc_8xx/usr/include/linux/mtd/mtd.h:13:2: #error This is a kernel header. Perhaps include mtd-user.h instead?
I tried to include mtd-user.h but there still a lot of errors!!
Bye, Antonio.

I'm afraid this is a known problem. The current code assumes (and works fine) in a Linux 2.4 based environment, but fails (like in your case) when used with 2.6 header files. Unfortunately, adapting the code for a 2.6 context will cause it to brak in 2.4 environments.
I am still trying to figure out if there is a clean way to find out which environment to use; I would like to avoid having to probe for the existience of certain header files in the Makefile.
Any ideas are welcome.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
The problem is that I'm using kernel 2.4, the latest kernel from Denx. The eldk_3.1.1 is for linux 2.4 too, or am I wrong?
Best regards, Antonio.
