RE: [Ltib] building images

[Jonathan Richardson]

Thanks Fabio. I forgot zImage is the kernel only. I’ve been away from Linux for a long time.

 

I was trying to regenerate it because I deleted it and ran into many problems with packages not building. E2fsprogs, hotplug, zlib, etc. If I avoid doing a distclean I don’t get these problems. But I had to re-install from the CD. Zlib gave me this error:  /opt/freescale/usr/local/gcc-4.1.2-glibc-2.5-nptl-3/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/sysroot/vfp/lib/libc.so.6: could not read symbols: Bad value

 

I will avoid the distclean for now, as it’s not really necessary.

 

Jon

Jonathan,

 

You are adding a userspace package I suppose.

 

In this case the kernel image (zImage) is unchanged.

 

Your userspace package is deployed into the root file system, not inside the kernel.

Subject: [Ltib] building images

Hi,

 

I’m using ltib with the Freescale MX31. I’ve added my own package and it builds properly with prep, scbuild, deploy, etc. If I list the packages it shows up in the list fine. How does my executable get into the image? It is deployed properly (ie- it gets copied to rootfs/usr/bin. But the image never gets regenerated when I do a ./ltib. It seems that the zImage gets copied from some location  because the time stamp is old. Even if I delete the previous image from the ‘tmp’ directory and the ‘rpm’ directory it still gets recreated somehow with an old timestamp and the size of it hasn’t changed to reflect the new executable I added. I also tried I tried doing a ltib –m clean and that deleted the rootfs but still the image won’t get generated. None of my symbols show up in the System.map file. How can I force regeneration of the image?

 

Thanks
