Hi Mike, I probably started skipping past this thread as soon as I saw the the initial response. It failed my 0.25-second test -- sorry.
Julius is right, though. cbfstool is built with your host compiler and the older versions of gcc don't like that patch. As I am currently stuck on using 14.04 Ubuntu which has an old version > of GCC, I am curious what gcc versions are in use that folks are using > to build coreboot in standalone tree? > Although I wasn't "stuck", I didn't want to risk or take time switching away from 14.04 in the middle of an important project. I moved gcc forward only to 6.5.0 and no longer had the problem. The exact steps I used are long gone out of my history, but I probably used something like described here: https://gist.github.com/application2000/73fd6f4bf1be6600a2cf9f56315a2d91 Thanks, Marshall On Tue, Jun 25, 2019 at 3:03 PM Julius Werner <[email protected]> wrote: > > Using git blame, all of the code (cbfstool & commonlib headers) was last > > modified 2015 and 2017, so figure it is toolchain and/or my host, which > > is Ubuntu 16.04. > > No, the code it's choking on was actually added in April: > https://review.coreboot.org/32027 > > I think I cherry-picked and modified a very old CL from 2015 (where I > had already tried doing that once and gave up at some point) as a > starting point to develop that patch, and it seems like the authoring > date from that stuck around in Git, so it looks like it's from 2015 in > blame.
