Message: 74277   

I am getting an error when the make is executing mkfs.jffs2 in the

following output, which is almost at the very end of the entire make session.

      .

      .

      .

/home/smv/blackfin/uClinux/user/mtd-utils/mkfs.jffs2 -l -p -d /home/smv/blackfin/uClinux/romfs -D device_table-min.txt

      -o /home/smv/blackfin/uClinux/images/rootfs.jffs2

/home/smv/blackfin/uClinux/user/mtd-utils/mkfs.jffs2: 1: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

make[3]: *** [image.rootfs.jffs2.force] Error 2

My Linux ver is 2.6.28.10-ADI-2009R1-pre-svn6346.

I get the same Syntax error msg even if I truncate the line to:

/home/smv/blackfin/uClinux/user/mtd-utils/mkfs.jffs2

I had no problems when using the previous Linux version, 2.6.22.19-ADI-2008R1.5-svn

Thanks,

Steven

Also,

The ToolChain and the uClinux-dist were both downloaded from the trunk at the same time, so they should be the most recent.

that indicates the file is corrupt

I re-made user/mtd-utils and still got exactly the same error.

So, I re-downloaded the latest trunk svn toolchain (rev 3393) and uclinux-dist (rev 6427).

I then built the toolchain.

Then, I only changed (1) the default menuconfig by changing the Product to

BF537-STAMP in the Vendor/Product Selection section, then, (2) in the Linux Kernel

Configuration|File systems|Miscellaneous filesystems, I enabled changed

Journalling Flash File System v2 (JFFS2) support from  <M>  to  <*>.

Then I compiled uclinux-dist.  Still get the same error.

BTW, my Host dev Linux is Ubuntu, if that makes any difference.

Could the latest toolchain and uclinux-dist be slightly imcompatible in the trunk?

the mkfs.jffs2 in user/mtd-utils/ is compiled by your host toolchain.  the Blackfin toolchain in use doesnt matter.

so run `file -L user/mtd-utils/mkfs.jffs2` and see what it shows

also, you can try `strace ./user/mtd-utils/mkfs.jffs2`

your toolchain/environment is screwed up.  run `make user/mtd-utils_clean` and then run `make user/mtd-utils_only >& log` and post the log file as an attachment.

user/mtd-utils/mkfs.jffs2 should be a symlink to the build-...-host/ dir, not the build-.../ dir

can you run `ls -l user/mtd-utils/mkfs.jffs2` and make sure it's pointing to the right place

I have found a way to get the mkfs.jffs2 to work properly, but it's

bizarre. I think the problem has to do with the make clean of the uclinux-dist.

If I execute the sequence:

(1) make clean

(2) make CROSS=bfin-uclinux- -Wl,-elft2flt

**** Get error at end of session when using mkfs.jffs2 on romfs ****

--------------------------------------

But, if I execute this sequence:

(1) make clean

(2) make CROSS=bfin-uclinux- -Wl,-elft2flt

**** Get error at end of session when using mkfs.jffs2 on romfs ****

(3) make user/mtd-utils_clean

(4) make user/mtd-utils_only

(5) make CROSS=bfin-uclinux- -Wl,-elft2flt

**** COMPILES SUCCESSFULLY! All subsequent compiles are fine without the ****

**** make _clean and _only.             ****

It appears that the make clean of the uclinux-dist causes some issue with the generation of the

mkfs.jffs2 app.

--------------------------------------

If I execute this sequence:

(1) make clean

(2) make user/mtd-utils_clean

(3) make user/mtd-utils_only

**** Get error with the make _only, not sure what to make of this ****

---------------------------------------

The make clean seems to cause the problem in some way.

It appears that after doing make clean, the make CROSS= needs to compile up

until it gets the error at the end, then the mkfs.jffs2 needs it's make _clean

and make _only. Then the make CROSS= compiles fine.

I never had this problem with the 2008R1.5, only with this trunk

ver, 2.6.28.10-ADI-2009R1-pre-svn6346.

Not sure how to answer your last question:

"so how can `file -L user/mtd-utils/mkfs.jffs2` show a Blackfin object when

the previous `file` commands did not ?  are you saying you can execute

that mkfs.jffs2 now ?"

I've always had a mkfs.jffs2 target for the mkfs.jffs2 symlinks, but it

appears that after a make clean, then a make CROSS= causes the new mkfs.jffs2

to be built improperly, requiring a make _clean and make _only. Then the new

mkfs.jffs2 operates properly for subsequent make CROSS= compiles.

why are you executing `make CROSS=bfin-uclinux- -Wl,-elft2flt` ?  you should not be setting any env vars at all when running `make`.

I use "make CROSS=bfin-uclinux- -Wl,-elf2flt" to make sure bfin-uclinux-gcc is used instead of bfin-linux-uclibc-gcc.  Is that not correct?  I want to make sure I'm compiling for the Flat File format.  I'll try just using make and see if that helps.

Using just 'make', instead of 'make CROSS=bfin-uclinux- -Wl,-elf2flt', works fine.  So, I've been using 'make' in the wrong way.  For some reason it worked on the last linux ver, but this one.  OOOOPS!  Now I know.  I had read that doc in your previous reply a long time ago and misconstrued it.

Mike, thanks for your help and patience.
