mkfs.jffs on arm

Hi all!

I have to port mkfs.jffs and erase commands on my EDB7312 board (arm core by CirrusLogic) but I'm having some problems...
Are there any suggestion to cross-compile mtd utilities for an arm target?
Thanks inadvance..
Igor.

make CROSS=arm-linux-

Thanks!

Modifiing Makefile in /utils with the right CROSS definition and doing make util from /mtd did the job...
but not completely.
I could build almost all the utilities related with JFFS a part from mkfs.jffs2 (mkfs.jffs is ok).
This is how the compile flow ends...

Any ideas about this error?
Thanks again...
Igor.

Please do not place your reply above the quoted text. Place it below, and quote _only_ what is absolutely necessary when replying.

You need zlib cross-compiled and installed such that your cross-compiler can find zlib.h (and libz.so or libz.a).

It seems to be including the wrong version of linux/jffs2.h. It should be including the one from '../include/linux', due to the 'CFLAGS += -I../include' in util/Makefile.

Tanks for the suggestions!
Mkfs.jffs2 compiling process took some steps forward but... it's still ending with errors!
In the following lines you can see the messages...

I think it's because it's missing some library created with file in mtd/lib. I tried to cross-compile mtd/lib content but I had a lot of problems...
Any new suggestion ?
Thanks a lot in advance...
Igor.

What version of zlib.h is it including? It looks like it might be including the kernel's version instead of the one for the userspace zlib.

Well... forgive my ignorance but...
What does it mean?
Exactly which file have I to try to include and which ones not? Thanks for the time you (I hope) will spend for me! :-)
Igor.
