Hi everyone,
FILO (0.6 and SVN tested) fails to build as a coreboot payload with
the following error:
MAKE FILO HEAD
Found Libpayload

error: conflicting types for ‘cbfs_find_file’
/home/thomasg/sources/coreboot/payloads/external/FILO/filo/build/libpayload/include/cbfs_core.h:175:7:
note: previous declaration of ‘cbfs_find_file’ was here
make[2]: *** [/home/thomasg/sources/coreboot/payloads/external/FILO/filo/build/fs/cbfs.o]
Error 1
make[1]: *** [filo] Error 2
make: *** [filo] Error 2
The reason is, that cbfs_find_file is defined in coreboot as "void
*cbfs_find_file(const char *name, int type)"
while FILO defines it as "struct cbfs_stage *cbfs_find_file(const char
*name, int type)".
As far as I can tell it works either way as the void is cast to the
right type where used, but I assume it got changed somewhere for a
reason, I just don't know which way it should be.
I could provide a patch, but I suggest that someone who actually knows
the code take a look.
If you need any more information, let me know.
