[microblaze-uclinux] Error -3 while decompressing!

["Monthadar Al-Jaberi" <monthadar@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

I have been following the UserGuid at the petalogix website and
configured the petalinux with the reference-design for
Spartan3E500-RedD. I didn't change the xps project except for
automatic update from version 9.1 to 10.1.

Then following the steps until "Building PetaLinux":

$ yes "" | make oldconfig dep all

I get the following error:

I traced it to a file called: common.mak (in
$(ROOTDIR)/vendors/Petalogix/common)

mkcramfs: $(ROOTDIR)/user/cramfs/mkcramfs.c
	$(HOSTCC) -o $@ -I$(ROOTDIR)/$(LINUXDIR)/include $< -lz

And searching on the net I found that some people suggested to install
zlib. So I did that

sudo apt-get install zlib1g-dev (I run Ubuntu Studios 8.04 (basiclly Ubuntu))

Then the build was successful ( or I would think so)

So I downloaded the bitstream, u-boot.srec and then image.bin and typed
go 0x24000000

Linux started booting but I get this error and it hangs,

24215671(2161)->24527000(4096)

I suspect it is something with zlib.h, I tried to link to the zlib.h I
found in ($ROOTDIR)/lib/zlib by changing in the common.mak file

mkcramfs: $(ROOTDIR)/user/cramfs/mkcramfs.c
	$(HOSTCC) -o $@ -I$(ROOTDIR)/$(LINUXDIR)/include
-I$(ROOTDIR)/$(LINUXDIR)/lib/zlib $< -lz

but make still gave errors.

Shouldn't this work by itself?

thank you for any advice
best regards,
