Re: [Ltib] Failed building dtc

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Hias,

What seems to be happening is that for some reason your BSP is setting
spoofing for the host component builds.  This is likely a bug introduced
by Freescale on that BSP, but it's very hard to tell (I don't have it).

What you can do is make a few checks (type exit to get out of the shell).

 $ ./ltib --hostcf -m shell
+ cd /data/seh/Src/ltib_bsps/savannah_ltib/config/platform/host
+ '[' '!' -f .config ']'
+ '[' 0 = 1 ']'
+ '[' -f .config ']'
+ cp .config host.config
Entering ltib shell mode, type 'exit' to quit
LTIB> env | grep TOOLCHAIN
TOOLCHAIN_CFLAGS=
TOOLCHAIN_PATH=/usr
TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX=
TOOLCHAIN=
TOOLCHAIN_TYPE=

If you see any other values, then that would cause the problem (in
particular TOOLCHAIN_PREFIX=).  If that is the issue, check
config/platform/host/.config and check the values of TOOLCHAIN_*
this is seeded (normally) from config/platform/host/ltib.preconfig, you
can get a "normal" one from the Savannah CVS area I sent you a link from
previously.

You need to be cautious with all this though as I'm not sure what's in
the BSP you have and there's danger of creating a Frankenstein LTIB.  So
if it's not obvious that this is the issue, then probably better
reporting it to Freescale.

Regards, Stuart
