Hi Yusuf,

i have put patch to port u-boot to mc68360, now when i am trying to compile u-boot i am getting this error m68k-elf-gcc: cache_8xx.o: No such file or directory m68k-elf-gcc: unrecognized option `-MQ' m68k-elf-gcc: cache.o: No such file or directory m68k-elf-gcc: unrecognized option `-MQ' m68k-elf-gcc: codec.o: No such file or directory m68k-elf-gcc: unrecognized option `-MQ' m68k-elf-gcc: cpu.o: No such file or directory m68k-elf-gcc: unrecognized option `-MQ' m68k-elf-gcc: dsp.o: No such file or directory m68k-elf-gcc: unrecognized option `-MQ' m68k-elf-gcc: ether.o: No such file or directory m68k-elf-gcc: unrecognized option `-MQ' m68k-elf-gcc: i2c.o: No such file or directory m68k-elf-gcc: unrecognized option `-MQ' m68k-elf-gcc: memory.o: No such file or directory m68k-elf-gcc: unrecognized option `-MQ' m68k-elf-gcc: post.o: No such file or directory m68k-elf-gcc: unrecognized option `-MQ' m68k-elf-gcc: rtc.o: No such file or directory m68k-elf-gcc: unrecognized option `-MQ' m68k-elf-gcc: spr.o: No such file or directory m68k-elf-gcc: unrecognized option `-MQ' m68k-elf-gcc: sysmon.o: No such file or directory m68k-elf-gcc: unrecognized option `-MQ' m68k-elf-gcc: tests.o: No such file or directory

now i want to know,why is this -MQ option used,it is in $(TOPDIR)/rules.mk,i am using cross compilation tool chain gcc version 2.95.3,does this compiler is too old,thats why not able to recognise the option....please let me know,how can i proceed

This option is used to get gcc not to compile code, but to generate dependency rules includable from makefiles. Obviously your compiler is too old, so you need to update your crosstoolchain.

Apart from this dependency problem I am pretty sure that 2.95.3 would surely trip in other places as well and is thus very likely a waste of time.

Best wishes Detlev
