uboot linking problem

[gurparta...@gmail.com]

I am compiling meta-swupdate with morty branch of yocto.Build failed with following logs:
/home/apaul/BEAGLEBONE/poky/build/tmp/sysroots/beaglebone/usr/lib/libubootenv.a(fw_env.o): In function `fw_printenv':

There are solutions in patch form but I don't know how to apply that patches.

Hello Gurpartap,

If you are on master or on the morty branch and you have this issue, you could use the krogoth branch or cherry-picks the following commits:
1) git cherry-pick 5dcda505c1204d102917887f7d40cff240419a17
2) git cherry-pick 1ae910286f3ad55abe193a36f9d6f8e00461e85a

Regards,

Georges

Still same issue..
what I did:

git clone --branch krogoth git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.git
cd poky
git clone --branch krogoth https://github.com/openembedded/meta-openembedded.git
https://github.com/sbabic/swupdate.git
source oe-init-build-env
added MACHINE=beaglebone in conf/local.conf
bitbake-layers add-layer ../meta-openembedded/meta-oe
bitbake-layers add-layer ../meta-swupdate
bitbake swupdate

[Stefano Babic]

This is a known issue - SWUpdate needs a version of libubootenv >
2016.05. It is a pity that morty has still this old version. The issue
could be easy fixed, but I am not excited to do this for old versions.

If you switch to a newer u-boot-fw-utils version, everything works fine.
So put a newer SRCREV in a .bbappend for u-boot-fw-utils (I would
upgrade u-boot as well, anyway) to point to a recent u-boot version. For
example, you can take it from poky/master (2017.01).

SRCREV = "a705ebc81b7f91bbd0ef7c634284208342901149"

Best regards,
Stefano Babic
