[Gumstix-users] gumstix-buildroot errors

[Julien L. <les...@ho...>]

Hi,

I am experiencing difficulties with the gumstix-buildroot, I have tried many 
versions (r1237, r1292 ...)
but anytime I change any kernel options (eg enable the pxa frame-buffer, the 
UC1400 touch-screen ...) it wont compile anymore.
I have followed the instructions in the wiki but it doesn't help:
-> in linux-2.6.xxgum:
-> export ARCH=arm
-> export DEPMOD=/bin/true
-> make menuconfig
-> make clean
-> cd ../..
-> make

Also there is some package in the gumstix-buildroot that wont compile 
regardless of the gumstix-buildroot version (microwin, Xfree to name a few).
I have tried to change the gcc version (for the target) from 4.1.1 to 3.4.5 
but the 3.4.5 give also a bunch of errors when it gets compiled.

Some errors samples are:
#make -i (otherwise it would stop at .tmp_vmlinux1 no matter which options 
are selected in the kernel / buildroot)

...

make[1]: [zImage] Error 2 (ignored)

So finally I get an .jffs2 image but the boot image is corrupted (checked 
within the root folder) and the software package partially compiled...
Depending on the options selected within the kernel, I get errors about the 
module built-in.o in folders like "net", "ac97" ...

In a nutshell everything is going wrong here, I can't anything compiled but 
the default package selection and the default kernel options.
May it be the software environment on my host development machine ? I am 
using Kubuntu 6.06 for information, and if necessary I can provide the 
version of the different tools on the machine.
If the fault is due to my development machine could anybody tell me which 
linux distribution / software version, the gumstix buildroot is thoroughly 
working on?

Thanks in advance,
yours faithfully,
J. Lebot
