Maybe like this? To build host tools just execute: ===== make tools-only ===== And I am not happy about adding ifdef to everywhere. So, how about a patch like this? diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile index c744718..12e1075 100644 --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -409,7 +409,7 @@ timestamp_h := include/generated/timestamp_autogenerated.h no-dot-config-targets := clean clobber mrproper distclean \ help %docs check% coccicheck \ - ubootversion backup + ubootversion backup tools-only config-targets := 0 mixed-targets := 0 @@ -1128,6 +1128,9 @@ checkarmreloc: u-boot env: scripts_basic $(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=tools/$@ +tools-only: scripts_basic + $(Q)$(MAKE) $(build)=tools + tools-all: export HOST_TOOLS_ALL=y tools-all: env tools ; Best Regards Masahiro Yamada _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
