RE: First off and Secondly

Hello,

Thank you for making this book. It is finally a good read. The more I learn, the more I can function with my own set of settings and standards. Outside of being grateful here...

I have come across an error in u-boot while compiling with the crosstool-ng toolchain.

 make

I have tried numerous ways to get around it. Do you know if this still works for u-boot?


First: CROSS_COMPILE=/location/to/the/toolchain
Second: make am335x_evm_defconfig
Third: make

This is creating the issue from above. I am only on chapter 3 but the interesting book keeps trying to make me perform better at Linux. Send rations!
