U-boot compilation error

davemf · April 8, 2017, 7:54am

I Install Cross Compiler for U-Boot BL301 and Install Cross Compiler for Linux kernel.

But I have error:

terry.
I try build root on nougat.

I modif

Then I try this:

May be need ?

$ make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- kvim_defconfig
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-

not

$ make kvim_defconfig
$ make -j8

Terry · April 8, 2017, 8:08am

I am sorry for that
The correct method is:
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- kvim_defconfig
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-

Gouwa · April 8, 2017, 9:23am

hi, Davemf:
Does your issue got resolved?

davemf · April 8, 2017, 10:10am

No, issue does not resolved.
I have error on new ubuntu system:

davemf · April 8, 2017, 10:57am

Before that, i installed all under the instruction:

$ sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-none-eabi
$ wget http://releases.linaro.org/archive/14.09/components/toolchain/binaries/gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.9-2014.09_linux.tar.bz2
$ sudo mkdir /opt/toolchains
$ sudo tar -xjf gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.9-2014.09_linux.tar.bz2 -C /opt/toolchains

And check it:

davemf@ubuntu:~$ aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -v
The program ‘aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc’ is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu

Why gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu does not installed?

Gouwa · April 8, 2017, 12:08pm

Basically, Ubuntu just got gcc pre-installed, regarding gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc should be install by manual.

davemf · April 8, 2017, 12:15pm

I installed it

$ sudo tar -xjf gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.9-2014.09_linux.tar.bz2 -C /opt/toolchains

or
will need “sudo apt-get install gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu” installing together with “sudo tar -xjf gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.9-2014.09_linux.tar.bz2 -C /opt/toolchains”?

Gouwa · April 8, 2017, 12:34pm

Keep in mind that different Ubuntu version will come with different gcc version:

It gcc-4 on my Ubuntu-14.04 PC:

Actually, for Android, we recommend you follow the instructions to install the specify gcc-4 version.

But if you want to develop Linux Distro, you may need to install gcc-5 instead.

davemf · April 8, 2017, 12:53pm

as I wrote above, I did it. And gcc not work!

davemf · April 8, 2017, 1:09pm

/opt folder has gcc files.

May be instruction does not right?

My system said:

davemf@ubuntu:~$ aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -vThe program ‘aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc’ is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install gcc-aarch64-linux-gnu

Gouwa · April 8, 2017, 2:24pm

Actually, in your case, you can just replace CROSS_COMPILE with following instead:
’’‘
CROSS_COMPILE=/opt/toolchains/gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.9-2014.09_linux/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-
’’’

davemf · April 8, 2017, 3:54pm

Not work. It does nothing

Gouwa · April 8, 2017, 4:03pm

You just forgot to type ‘make’

davemf · April 8, 2017, 4:09pm

old error

I think you need CHECK AGAIN for your host environment first:

you even haven’t got ‘make’ installed yet:

check you did got the cross toolchain installed in right way:

Actually, thus problems you met not a complex ones, you can got them resolved if you check the error prompt messages carefully

Gouwa · April 9, 2017, 2:08am

Hi, davemf:
Do you get the problems resolved?

If yes, please follow the Problem Solved Button to mark it as solved

arunx · May 26, 2017, 8:33am

@davemf

Below instructions tested on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS

Prepare build host

$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install git lzop build-essential gcc libncurses5-dev libc6-i386 lib32stdc++6 zlib1g:i386

Install Tool chains

$ wget http://releases.linaro.org/archive/14.09/components/toolchain/binaries/gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.9-2014.09_linux.tar.bz2
$ sudo mkdir /opt/toolchains
$ sudo tar -xjf gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.9-2014.09_linux.tar.bz2 -C /opt/toolchains

Setup Cross_compile Env

$ export ARCH=arm64
$ export CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-
$ export PATH=/opt/toolchains/gcc-linaro-aarch64-linux-gnu-4.9-2014.09_linux/bin/:$PATH

Build u-boot for armlogic

$ cd ~/project/khadas/ubuntu/u-boot
$ make kvim_defconfig
$ make -j8 CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu-

I hope it solve your problems.

ravelo · July 27, 2017, 11:45am

thanks You !
I also had this stdin.h error but this sudo apt-get install libnewlib-arm-none-eabi effectively allowed me to succeed in compiling the khadas u-boot on my 16.10 xubuntu machine!
