compilation error while building x-loader for android-gingerbread-2.3

go to directory x-load-omap3 before run the make command.

hello Bin,

yes, I moved x-load-omap3 directory and I run the command as shown below:

ashvin@DELL-inspiron:~/rowboat-android/x-load-omap3$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- distclean

find . -type f \

\( -name 'core' -o -name '*.bak' -o -name '*~' \

-o -name '*.o'  -o -name '*.a'  \) -print \

| xargs rm -f

find . -type f \

\( -name .depend -o -name '*.srec' -o -name '*.bin' \) \

-print \

| xargs rm -f

rm -f  *.bak tags TAGS

rm -fr *.*~

rm -f x-load x-load.map 

rm -f include/asm/proc include/asm/arch

rm -f include/config.h include/config.mk

The msg seems fine to me - it was trying to remove temp files. Now you can continue to follow the instructions to build x-loader.

excuse me if am asking very silly questions....because i am new to this environment...

what is it mean that it was trying to remove temp files...does it removed those files or we have to remove?

or u mean shall i continue to execute following commands to build x-loader

$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi- omap3evm_config

$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-

No problem at all. (Sorry i did not know you background, I should make my response more instructive.)

'make ... distclean' removes all the temp files (for example *.o) for you.

Yes, now you can continue on the two commands you listed above to build x-loader.

Hi Bin,

thanks for helping....

I successfully executed commands as mentioned in the guide and build the x-loader and renamed as MLO.

build the boot-loader and generated u-boot.bin and also successfully build the linux kernel and got uImage.

now i get stuck at building root file system, 

in which directory should I execute the command

$ make TARGET_PRODUCT= <product name> OMAPES=5.x -j8

:(

~/rowboat-android/ in your case.

Don't forget to change <product name> to something according to your board.

precise and perfecto....

creating.......................................

thank you so much...I will get you again if anything goes wrong...

have a nice day 

HI

While executing the command "sudo make TARGET_PRODUCT=omap3evm OMAPES=5.x -j2" I came across the following error please help me.

Right now I am building my filesystem and succesfully builded my kernel,uImage and MLO:
