[U-Boot-Users] Codesourcery Coldfire Compiler.

[John.Jeffers at bjservices.com]

Dear Wolfgang and fellow Coldfire sufferers.

Well I made "uClibc 13 Sept 06 buildroot snapshot".

The patch file is no longer necessary as an (elf) option may be filled in 
now in the Tools menu.

The .config file you provided is a fine eyeball parsable guide Thanks!  It 
will no longer function in "make menuconfig" but it was a great cribsheet.

Code sorcery compiler which resides at /opt/Coldfire/bin appears 
unimpacted I cannot find a -m5307 library other than the one I originally 
installed.  I told menuconfig the desired toplevel directory was 
/opt/Coldfire. 
It would seem that I do not know.  (And I have had considerable experience 
with uClinux builds two years ago, but that's a million years in 
linux....)

1) If the Tools were to be at /opt/Coldfire why Coldfire tools are no 
where to be found even below home/jjeffers/../buildroot/... except in 
their original placing at /opt/Coldfire/Bin etc.  Previously the uClib 
hung out in a lib below the tools.( I will verify this on my RH7 machine 
that I did these builds on.)
2) For U-Boot why I should be using uClib?  Why not the code sourcery elf 
compiler?
3) If I need uClibc for uClinux should I not then switch to the pre built 
code sourcery compiler with uClibc built in.

It seems I missed the tools location guide somewhere....yes I will go read 
more source.  In particular the Nintendo DS source because that is recent.

For the masses flex and bison have to be on your development machine for 
"make menuconfig" to work.  The pains of having to change machines with 
companies.....

Cheers John
