When I look at a more verbose gcc output, I can see that the build is searching /ltib/rootfs/usr/src/linux/include. I didn't realise that the RFS was something I had to consider when the packages were being built, I just thought the build files came from the elsewhere. Right, please bare with me, am I right in saying that /ltib/rootfs/usr/src/linux/include is populated during the kernel build and then the packages are built against that location. So really what I need to be doing is figuring out at what point ipu.h and mxcfb.h should be copied into the RFS and how this act is achieved.
Thanks for the assistance so far, very much a learning process for me.
Regards
Wayne

Hi Wayne,
Looking at the output you posted, lines 84/85 seem to be the root of
the problem:
In file included from mxc_ipu_hl_lib.c:45:
mxc_ipu_hl_lib.h:96:23: error: linux/ipu.h: No such file or
directory
mxc_ipu_hl_lib.h:97:25: error: linux/mxcfb.h: No such file or
directory
You need to make sure that these headers are available in your
kernel source tree, and that they get installed into the
rootfs/usr/src/linux/include area. I'm assuming that they're
something that should be publicly exported? (check in the original
BSP if you can).
Alternatively, you could access them by adding a -I to
rpm/BUILD/linux, however that's not really a good idea if the using
package is userspace (it should not be groping around the internal
kernel headers).

Hi Stuart,
Your advice helped and I have managed to build a kernel
using the kernel source from the SoM BSP. I had to do some
tweaking as LTIB fails the build at imx-lib. This may be
outside your remit but I am wondering if you can over a
suggestion on how to fix this problem, the log is located
here, http://pastebin.com/Btb1mN58 lines
84 and 85 don't make any sense to me as I have added them from
the Freescale BSP to my BSP but the build still can't find
them.
Thanks

Hi Wayne,
I was the main (almost only) developer of LTIB back when I
worked at Freescale. At the time I left, aside from some
unpublished BSPs, the tools were the same. I'm not sure
what has happened since I left (over 2 years ago), but I
would say that if their BSP does what you want, stick with
that; if not then Savannah CVS may be better in terms of
getting help (if you are a customer of Freescale's they may
help too).
To help you with this question you really need to send a
patch (diff) showing what you've changed and also the output
of any failure messages.
So far as the ltib kernel config processing goes, here's how
it works:
1. First build: use the one in config/platform/_target_/
named in the choice selected when you run ./ltib -m config
(or the one named in the config/platform/_target_/defconfig
if you don't change anything).
2. Once the kernel has been built, an updated kernel .config
file will be placed in
config/platform/_target_/_kernel_config_name.dev. The
reason for this is that:
* Running the kernel configuration parser can (will)
change the input kernel config file
* You may have selected other options (if you ran:
./ltib -p kernel --configure
There is some useful documentation on the website: http://ltib.org (the FAQ) and also in
the doc directory in the LTIB source tree. It's worth
scanning that for ideas.
Bottom line; send a patch/actual output and the people on
this list may be able to see what the issue is and help you.

Hi Stuart,
Thanks for the the reply, please bare with me,
I'm new to LTIB and embedded Linux.
I first tried changing the default toolchain,
kernel source and toolchain prefix in LTIB, with the
default kernel configuration, the build failed.
This failure might have something to do with the
kernel config, it would appear that the config that
had been used isn't that of the default config from
the kernel source. If I were to 'make menuconfig'
the kernel source the menu that appears has a list
of different options when compared to the kernel
menuconfig that LTIB starts up. I had a look at
main.lkc but I don't quite understand why LTIB is
ignoring the default .config for the kernel and
appears to be using some other .config, i.e I'm not
sure which config is being used?
Would I be better dumping the freescale version
of LTIB and using the CVS version, is there any
difference except for the supported platforms?
Thanks
Wayne

Hi Wayne,
Making the changes are easy. Basically you
need to edit the
config/platform/_target_/main.lkc file to
refer to the toolchain/kernel you want to
use. Make sure to copy also the correct
TOOLCHAIN_FLAGS etc from the existing BSP
using those assets.
The main thing you'll need to do is to test.

Hi,
Is it difficult to integrate kernel
source and a tool-chain into LTIB from
another BSP. The reason I ask is that
I am using an i.MX53 based SoM and the
build tools are bad and I really like
using LTIB, my exposure coming from
using LTIB with the i.MX53QSB.
I can see from the Freescale
provided LTIB that I could select
custom kernel source and a custom
toolchain, what are likely outcomes if
I were to change these? Do I need to
be digging deeper and look
at modifying other files?
