building U-Boot for SABRELite Kit within Eclipse DS5-CE

Note: This was originally posted on 4th June 2013 at http://forums.arm.com

Hello community ppl ,
I'm using U-boot Root directory from Boundary devices . i built it in terminal and the output was binary files .
Now , i tried to build it into DS5-CE .. in 3 ways:

1)i made a new ->"makefile project with existing code" to use u-boot makefile , settings was as follow

a-(Project-->properties-->C/C++ build) default build command unchecked "generate makefiles automatically"
b-project-->make target -->create new targets
define two targets as u-boot specifies (mx6qsabrelite_config , u-boot.imx)
c- "build projects" with previous two targets
d- "build all" the project

Output : succeed but no images for U-Boot as terminal run.

2)make as step (1) but specify a build command to path to makefile provided by U-Boot root folder
output :Error: Cannot run program "Makefile": Unknown reason
after googling , it should be put in path variable and it is already !!

-------------ADDED CASE------------------
3)make as step (2) but points to another makefile provided by U-Boot root directory "MAKEALL" : it uses the default make util with is eclipse's one
output ARMDS5-CE-installationDir/bin/make: No such file or directory
---------------END OF ADDED CASE ---------------------------
although that PATH includes the U-Boot root directory that includes MAKEALL script .
4)made a C project with U-boot folder and "automatically-generated-eclipse-make-file" and replaced eclipse makefile with U-boot's one
output : as in (1)

problem : i don't know what to do ??!!!

any help would be appreciated

Regards

Hello , Scott

for the case (1) :
- I made two new targets and when build I select

       -project->make target->build , choose mx6qsabrelite_config -->Build

    then

        -project->make target->build , choose u-boot.imx -->Build

and the build command is just default "make"

Console tab output :

**** Build of configuration Default for project U-Boot ****

make mx6qsabrelite_config

**** Build Finished ****

and

**** Build of configuration Default for project U-Boot ****

make u-boot.imx

**** Build Finished ****

[size="2"][color="#FF0000"]but none of u-boot images appear
[/size][/color]

may be the problem is that I need to fully disable the eclipse make command and just run U-Boot script to make all builds .(but I don't know how)
As It is built successfully from terminal .

Thanks..

It looks like a makefile is being found and has those targets ('mx6qsabrelite_config' and 'uboot.imx') and either (a) it doesn't have any commands for those targets or ( believes those targets are up-to-date.

One thing to check: is the makefile look ok and is it in the same directory shown in the "Build directory" of )project) > Properties > C/C++ Build

More random ideas:

Maybe try adding an "echo hi there" in the makefile to the mx6qsabrelite_config target to prove that the makefile you are editting is the one being used.

Maybe the Makefile depending on any environment variables that are different between the command-line and Eclipse? If you're still stuck you can try changing 'make' to 'make --debug' and see if the output sheds any light.

Hello Scott,

I have already done the following

1- set the build dir to actually the root folder of U-Boot which contains all needed make file
2- echoing in which if statement the the U-Boot make script enter ,
already got into statement that says: make $CROSS_COMPILE ...
which calls the make utility of eclipse which got me that error ..

3- the main environment variables needed for building is typically : PATH , CROSS_COMPILE , BUILD_DIR
PATH contains the path to eclipse-CE bin directory , cross compiler bin directory and u-boot root directory , ...

3- i'll try the "make --debug" , but what its benefit is ..

Thanks for Help

Regards,
