Hello guys,

I’m trying to compile uboot by myself, I use the code from https://github.com/BPI-SINOVOIP/BPI-R2-bsp.git/u-boot-mt

Anybody know what is happening?

Problem sloved. Use the toolchain from here https://developer.arm.com/open-source/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads…

3

Which host-OS do you using?

If ubuntu why not using the crosscompiler-package as mentioned on the github-repo?

Gcc 7 is not supported yet…please use gcc6

you can try to put this file to “include/linux/”: compiler-gcc7.h (2,4 KB)

my repo is also not compilable with gcc because of false-positive error in wifi-driver

5

So is there a way to compile on Ubuntu host with native Ubuntu tools? gcc-6-arm-linux-gnueabihf:

/bin/sh: 1: arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc: not found

gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf:

BPI-R2-bsp-4.14/u-boot-mt/include/linux/compiler-gcc.h:95:1: fatal error: linux/compiler-gcc8.h: No such file or directory

Your log says you use gcc8 crosscompiler…if you want to use gcc6 or any other you have to change it via update-alternatives

gcc7 (ubuntu 18.4) is supported

example for update-alternatives (here i’ve done for gcc8, which is already your default, so just replace 8 by another number):

sudo apt-get install gcc-8-arm-linux-gnueabihf
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-8 50
sudo update-alternatives --config arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc
arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc --version

i added compiler-gcc8.h in lts-branches (4.14+4.19), installed gcc8 on my system and can compile these 2 branches without errors

but i see you use official 4.14-repo where i cannot add these…you can add these file from my repo, but maybe compile failes because of missing Patches in wifi-driver

so just clone my repo

and run build.sh like described in README.md (you see this if you open the repo in your browser)
