Hi all,

I am new to Linux and U-boot, so I installed vmware on my host system(win2k). I want to read and edit the u-boot source code in win2K system .

Here are my steps: 1.Some simple introduce to my system(win2k+vmware+FC6):

--Host system: win2k --vmware version:wmware 6, VMware-workstation-e.x.p-36983 --Guest system: Linux, FC6

--u-boot version: u-boot-1.1.2.tar.bz2 --cross tool-chain: cross-2.95.3.tar.bz2

2.I installed the vmware-tools, so I can see the windows directories in /mnt/hgfs in Linux.

3.uncompress u-boot-1.1.2 I put u-boot-1.1.2.tar.bz2 to the windows directories 'F:\WinShare' and share this directory by vmware-tools. so I can see this directory in Linux system from /mnt/hgfs/WinShare then I run the vmware and Linux, uncompress the u-boot-1.1.2.tar.bz2 as following: # cd /mnt/hgfs/WinShare # tar xjvf u-boot-1.1.2.tar.bz2

4.uncompress corss tool-chain cross-2.95.3.tar.bz2 to /usr/local/arm and change the environment variable PATH.

5.try to make u-boot. # cd /mnt/hgfs/WinShare/u-boot-1.1.2 # make distclean # make B2_config # make then, it shows"System not configured, see README"

But,if I uncompress the u-boot-1.1.2 to Linux directory(for example, /tmp), make is successful. This proves http://www.nabble.com/file/6883/u-boot_make_problem.bmp the cross tool-chain is ok.

Here are the problems:

I have read the README of u-boot, but get no clue.

1. B2_config has been configured in u-boot-1.1.2/Makefile by default. Why can not do 'make' in /mnt/hgfs/u-boot_share/u-boot-1.1.2 ?

2. Does u-boot-1.1.2 must under Linux' directory? If it does, then it is too convenient to read the source code to me. I usually read source code in Win2k by SourceInSight。How to read the source code convenient in Linux?

Thanks a lot.Waiting for your helpness.
