freebsd-beaglebone install problem

Thu Sep 6 05:14:19 UTC 2012

Ah.  I see now.  You're using the xdev tools from RELENG_9_0.
There's a fix in -CURRENT to add support for GCC's
-print-file-name=include option.  That option is used by U-Boot
to initialize the gccincdir variable with the location of suitable
system headers.

To workaround it, you can edit the definition of gccincdir
in u-boot/config.mk so that it reads as follows:

gccincdir := /usr/arm-freebsd/usr/include

(And make sure that directory actually exists on your system, of
course.)

I'll go track down the commit in -CURRENT that fixes this
and MFC it as soon as I get a chance.

Cheers,

Tim
