Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH] build:arm: Remove setting of CROSS_COMPILE environment variable

2014-04-08 Thread Masahiro Yamada
Hi Albert,

 Applied to u-boot-arm/master, thanks!

BTW, you failed to rephrase the commit message.
Anyway it's too late and OK for me.


 -- 8 --
 For building u-boot on ARM the CROSS_COMPILE environment variable, when
 not defined, was set to default value (prefix arm-linux-).
 
 Since not all cross compilers have the arm-linux- prefix and this
 setting prevents from building u-boot on natively arm powered devices it
 would be best to remove it.
 
 As a side note:
 The most universal way to cross compile u-boot is to
 specify the CROSS_COMPILE environment variable explicitly - e.g.:
 CROSS_COMPILE=/  /arm-v7a-linux-gnueabi- make

  Unfortunately this doesn't work with ARM host emulated with qemu
  (like OBS). Here when I type make I expect that native gcc for
  arm will run without even touching CROSS_COMPILE environment
  variable.
 
 I believe it is the same as prior to Kbuild.
 
 So, I am not convined with this part of your commit description:
  After Kbuild introduction, the CROSS_COMPILE environment variable
  has been set to some default value (prefix arm-linux-).
 
 
  Any idea how to fix this is more than welcome.
 
 If you are searching some other choices,
 
 
 [1]
 ifneq ($(origin CROSS_COMPILE), command line)
 ifeq ($(CROSS_COMPILE),)
 CROSS_COMPILE := arm-linux-
 endif
 endif
 
 For native build on ARM, you can explicitely set CROSS_COMPILE as
 empty:make CROSS_COMPILE=
 In this case, CROSS_COMPILE will not be overwritten in
 arch/arm/config.mk.
 
 
 [2]
 ifneq ($(HOSTARCH),$(ARCH))
 ifeq ($(CROSS_COMPILE),)
 CROSS_COMPILE := arm-linux-
 endif
 endif
 
 For native build on ARM, both $(HOSTARCH) and $(ARCH)
 are arm, so CROSS_COMPILE will not be set.
 
 
 
 But, I think deleting CROSS_COMPILE setting is the simplest and the
 best.

This shall be removed since it breaks building u-boot for native arm target

 set to some default value (prefix arm-linux-).


 Any idea how to fix this is more than welcome.

If you are searching some other choices,


[1]
ifneq ($(origin CROSS_COMPILE), command line)
ifeq ($(CROSS_COMPILE),)
CROSS_COMPILE := arm-linux-
endif
endif

For native build on ARM, you can explicitely set CROSS_COMPILE as
empty:make CROSS_COMPILE=
In this case, CROSS_COMPILE will not be overwritten in
arch/arm/config.mk.


[2]
ifneq ($(HOSTARCH),$(ARCH))
ifeq ($(CROSS_COMPILE),)
CROSS_COMPILE := arm-linux-
endif
endif

For native build on ARM, both $(HOSTARCH) and $(ARCH)
are arm, so CROSS_COMPILE will not be set.



But, I think deleting CROSS_COMPILE setting is the simplest and the best.
