I just checked out a clean s2881 tree (2254), and built it.
Along the way, I had to make a few changes to make it compile.
- in targets/tyan/s2881/s2881/config.py, my machine required:
- a '#!/usr/bin/env python' line at the start of the file
- the file to be executable
- compilation then failed as follows:
# make ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "tyan/s2881/s2881/config.py", line 1541, in ? from yappsrt import * ImportError: No module named yappsrt make: *** [Makefile.settings] Error 1
I had to copy the yappsrt.py file from util/newconfig to the tyan/s2881/s2881 directory, and then everything worked fine.
Sounds like either you have a broken or a brand new or a really old python version. What python version are you using?
This kind of stuff happens all the time with python based software.
