portable_endian.h not found?

[silver2row]

Hello,

I seem to get an error when I use the command make fel from w/in the /sunxi-tools/ directory for the board I use.

Is there any known workaround that anyone knows of currently for this error?

I looked online and keep trying to research ideas about portable_endian.h but come up short.

P.S. If you have solved this issue, please reply.

Please provide more information with your report, at least the system that you're using and the compiler output.

The header is in the include directory and will typically include a system header depending on the system.

This is most likely not an issue with the code but an issue with your system/setup.

This is because fel is not a supported make target, so some implicit make rule will trigger, and compile the fel.c file without adding the local include/ directory, which contains portable_endian.h:

$ make fel
cc     fel.c   -o fel
fel.c:19:10: fatal error: portable_endian.h: No such file or directory

The binary tool you want is actually called sunxi-fel, so use that as the make target, and it will add the correct command line arguments to the compiler call:

$ make sunxi-fel
Setting version information: v1.4.2-169-g6a2f6b5

cc -std=c99 -Wall -Wextra -Wno-unused-result -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=200112L -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_DEFAULT_SOURCE
-Iinclude/  `pkg-config --cflags libusb-1.0` `pkg-config --cflags zlib`  -o sunxi-fel
fel.c fit_image.c progress.c soc_info.c fel_lib.c fel-spiflash.c  `pkg-config --libs libusb-1.0` `pkg-config --libs zlib` -lfdt

Or just type make and it builds sunxi-fel as well, among the other tools.

Okay,

I use an Allwinner 64A as a target while the host is using gcc (Debian 10.2.1-6) 10.2.1 20210110.

P.S. I git clone the repo, use make, and everything works. But, then when trying to use make fel or make sunxi-fel nothing really transpires.

Hello,

I went another route and got the board booted w/ u-boot ideas (sort of). Thank you for your time and effort in guiding me.

@silver2row what do you mean with "trying to use ... make sunxi-fel nothing really transpires."? If you did make before, it builds sunxi-fel already. If you explicitly ask for make sunxi-fel again, it will not rebuild anything, because nothing has changed. So you don't need both a "naked" make and make sunxi-fel, just one of them. If there is still a problem, please let us know.
