It doesn't work; I get a lot of errors about asm/blah.h include files being missing. make MPC8610HPCN_config make BIN_FILES="mkimage" this works fine though. I also tried filling out ARCH=ppc into config.mk just in case, but it's obvious some weird arch setup is being done to glue in the right includes. So, I symlinked asm-ppc to asm, just like mkconfig does, and this made it at least get to compile. So the correct solution is; touch include/config.h include/config.mk ln -sf include/asm-ppc include/asm make BIN_FILES="mkimage" tools (this also builds bmp_logo for some reason.. I don't quite understand why?) -- Matt Sealey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Genesi, Manager, Developer Relations _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list [email protected] http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
