[Click] [SPAM] - Re: compile click to powerpc target problem - Email found in subject

[Leung, Chu]

Hi Joonwoo,

no words can express my gratitude for your help,
i will try this asap,
and will update you with the result;

i am sorry that i did not provide enough info,
my target is a Lite mpc5200b,
and the host env is an old dell running ubuntu 
with kernel 2.6.19.2
and have a denx cross compile env

the denx cross compile env is setup 
to cross compile for ppc_6xx

so i will modify your suggestions a bit 
to use my configured denx

fyi 
Canada is a very nice place, and 
you will not be disappointed on
our beautiful nature and friendliness

regards and many thanks,
-chu
