Compiling pynq 2.4 for Ultra96 using Ubuntu 18.4

Hi anyone successully compiled Pynq2.4 for Utra96 V1 on Ubuntu 18.4.
Just seem to have a continuous flow of errors / failures.

As far as I am aware the 2.4 release is dependent on crosstool-ng 1.22.0 whereas you are using 1.23.0. It’s possible that the configuration scripts we use to build the microblaze cross-compiler don’t work with the newer version. Can you try using the older version of crosstool-ng?

thansk Peter, Got futher, but different problems… almost there but not quite…

The output of the crosstool-ng log may contain more clues as to what’s going on - you can find it in sdbuild/build/gcc-mb/build.log

Might be the default gcc version on ubuntu 18.04 is different than 16.04? I have not tried 18.04 but the flow for ct-ng is somewhat fragile for now.

went back to 16.04! shame i was determined to do it… hoy hum
