Re: [Ltib] Problems with Ltib as delivered via a Freescale package.

[Petteri Matilainen]

Hi John,

I had the same problems as you with MCF5485 ltib from Freescale. And I 
also have debian.

With zlib I just commented the check out from ltib script (zlib was 
installed). I don't remember if I had the glibc-devel problem as well.

I also had the same issue with sparse. As suggested by some other forum 
or blog, there is two options. You can remove the reference to the wrong 
struct from the sparse source. I tried this but couldn't remove the 
right one. So, I got a new sparse source from the net and replaced the 
old one in ltib. The new sparse has the duplicate struct removed.

First you have to find the directory containing the sparse-0.4.tar.gz 
(or something like that) and an MD5 sum file sparse-0.4.tar.gz.md5. 
Delete the old one (or copy it to a backup folder just in case along 
with the md5 sum file). Copy the new one in the same place. As it's a 
different version, you have to re-create the md5 sum file, otherwise 
ltib will complain it's missing.

I can't remember if I just renamed the new sparse (0.4.3 or something) 
to sparse-0.4 and re-created the md5sum or was there something else to 
be done. I hope this helps. Also, in the newest ltib from freescale 
there still is the old sparse so it has to be upgraded manually.

regards

Petteri
