bareboxenv-target: script not found

Question

I'm working with ptxdist, with barebox as a bootloader.

I'm trying to use 'bareboxenv' script in my arm to save the barebox environment to a file, so I've set the option which allows to compile it for arm in 'barebox.make' and tried to compiled again ptxdist. The problem is that ptxdist asks for a script called 'bareboxenv-target', which should be in scripts directory, but it isn't there. I've used

find . -name bareboxenv-target 

to look for it from my home directory. Not found.

Also I've looked for it online: https://gitorious.org/oselas/ptxdist/source/668c3e0634ab68c7fdccff1fe9ca1bf546a4ce87:scripts but it isn't there either. Can anyone help me?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Apparently, the version of barebox that is used in ptxdist is not compatible with bareboxenv-target.

I cannot say why PTXDist would enable a feature and not update the source to support it. It appears to be a bug. There is an explanation here.

You could try updating the Barebox installation version by:

1. Updating the make file to include a new archive of source
2. Updating the make file to include a new md5 sum.
3. Update any patch files associated with barebox (This is the hard part).
4. Rebuilding PTXDist and verifying it works.

Personally, I think this might be a long bunny trail and I am not going down that path unless I find a good reason to do so. Best of luck!
