The dtc is run from the wrapper script, so if you build for a platform that uses a dts source file, then you'll need the dtc. If you don't build for one of those platforms, then you won't needed it. So a 'make allXXXconfig' needs the dtc to be installed since it builds platforms that use dts source files. -Geoff _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@ozlabs.org https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
