Hi Stuart,
I was wondering which linux distribution you use to run compliling such
mpc BSPs...
Actually i tried UBuntu but get several errors...
Thanks.

Hi Francesco,
The problem is likely in the LTIB you have in the way it detects PPC
versus PowerPC for the kernel, although the LINTARCH will get passed
in as PPC, the kernel spec file
(dist/lfs-5.1/kernel/kernel-common.tmpl) figures out if it's ppc or
powerpc depending on version. The current spec file is here:
http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/*checkout*/ltib/dist/lfs-5.1/kernel/kernel-common.tmpl?root=ltib
look for the section on:
# PPC_MERGE used to be the primary way of detecting whether
This shows how it gets calculated. Bear in mind though this is the
public Savannah version, so what you have may be different.

Hi Stuart,
I did followed the guide (interpolating :) ) and I get the
kernel to start compiling.
Unfortunately it exit with error complaining wrong arch: it
looks for ppc instead of powerpc.
Honestly I don't know whether it is a problem of ltib or gcc...
Did anyone experienced same problem and managed to solve?

Hi Francesco,
I've attached a guide/example, you'll need to interpolate.

Thanks Stuart,
but where do I put new kernel source, and how do I configure
ltib to work with new kernel source?

Hi Francesco,
To re-configure the kernel:
$ ./ltib -p kernel -c -f
-c : configure
-f : force (as the package is up to date).

---+++ Example: adding a new kernel
Here is an example that shows the addition of a new kernel to
a target.
First, here's the patch of the main.lkc file. I've snipped
it back
to remove the hunks we're not interested in:

In addition to changing this main.lkc for this example I
needed do the
following:
* Create a the kernel config file (maybe based on a copy)
the file:
config/platform/qs875s/linux-8xx-am_adder_87x.config
* Create (maybe based on a copy of another) the file:
dist/lfs-5.1/kernel/kernel-8xx.spec.in
<http://kernel-8xx.spec.in> <http://kernel-8xx.spec.in>
NOTE: I think it's better to place the spec file in
config/platform/_target_
* Put you source tarball and patches into
/opt/ltib|freescale/pkgs
---+ Testing
Run: ./ltib -m config select the new kernel and then: build:
./ltib
If you want to re-configure the kernel and build:
./ltib -p kernel -c -f
