Building for simulation on Ubuntu 20.04 about optee_docs HOT 5 CLOSED

The make run command does not seem to select board config for u-boot. I had to do it manually; not sure what the intended config was, but I used:

You got this on a brand new setup? I'm a bit surprised, because in our CI we're running the commands like described in the readme (CI starts from scratch).

You got this on a brand new setup?

Yes. The Ubuntu installation I used was fresh, at least in development area.

I'm a bit surprised, because in our CI we're running the commands like described in the readme (CI starts from scratch).

Looking into the code, I see 'scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh' is supposed to take care of the configuration. It is used in place of executing make NAME_defconfig. This evidently didn't worked for me.

I also see you use hyphen in variable names for make, ie U-BOOT_DEFCONFIG_FILES. This is allowed, but with remarks. From the manual:

A variable name may be any sequence of characters not containing ‘:’, ‘#’, ‘=’, or whitespace. However, variable names containing characters other than letters, numbers, and underscores should be considered carefully, as in some shells they cannot be passed through the environment to a sub-make (see Communicating Variables to a Sub-make).

At the moment, I can't tell why merge_config.sh didn't worked. I didn't stored logs, unfortunately.

I need help to understand whether this is an issue or not? If there is anything not working, then it should be fixed. But since we're running this in CI and haven't seen the problem, we cannot replicate it. So if you're facing an issue, I'd kindly ask you to provide a fix for it if possible.

I need help to understand whether this is an issue or not?

No, there is no issue. I wasn't able to replicate the problem on a second op-tee tree on that machine. So the issue I had must have been caused by not having some of the necessary tools, which I installed later as the compilation progressed further.

Ok, in that case, then I'll close this ticket. Thanks for raising the issue, sometimes there are issues that needs a fix even though it cannot be replicated on our end (lots of bits and pieces needs to play nicely together).
