mkimage 时报错invalid entry point -n

在最后阶段出现了"invalid entry point -n"的错误，而我在ubuntu12.04上面是可以生成镜像的。以下是出错现场的信息

后来我将*argv全部打印出来发现：在ubuntu12.04下，Makefile文件中执行的语句展开后是

/home/zhangdanfeng/work/gaoju/rc_9342_wifi/sdk/build/../boot/u-boot/tools/mkimage -A mips -O linux -T kernel -C lzma -a 0x80002000 -e -n 'Linux Kernel Image' -d /home/zhangdanfeng/work/gaoju/rc_9342_wifi/sdk/build/../linux/kernels/mips-linux-2.6.31/arch/mips/boot/vmlinux.bin.lzma /home/zhangdanfeng/work/gaoju/rc_9342_wifi/sdk/build/../images/mi124/vmlinux_mi124_f1e.lzma.uImage

argc的值是18，第12个参数“-e”后面紧接着的是代表入口地址的16进制参数；

但是在ubuntu14.04下，Makefile文件中执行的语句展开后是

**** Generating vmlinux_mi124_f1e.lzma.uImage ********
+ /home/zhangdanfeng/work/gaoju/rc_9342_wifi/sdk/build/../boot/u-boot/tools/mkimage -A mips -O linux -T kernel -C lzma -a 0x80002000 -e -n 'Linux Kernel Image' -d /home/zhangdanfeng/work/gaoju/rc_9342_wifi/sdk/build/../linux/kernels/mips-linux-2.6.31/arch/mips/boot/vmlinux.bin.lzma /home/zhangdanfeng/work/gaoju/rc_9342_wifi/sdk/build/../images/mi124/vmlinux_mi124_f1e.lzma.uImage

+ cp /home/zhangdanfeng/work/gaoju/rc_9342_wifi/sdk/build/../images/mi124/vmlinux_mi124_f1e.lzma.uImage /tftpboot/zhangdanfeng

argc的值是17，正是“-e”参数后缺少了入口地址参数，而紧接着“-n”。所以程序就报告了“ nvalid entry point -n”，但是为何会缺少一个参数？

答案就在Ｍakefile里面找。Makefile中通过$(shell readelf -h $(ROOTDIR)/$(LINUXDIR)/vmlinux | grep "Ｅntry" | awk '{print $$4}') 查找入口点地址，但是我们在ubuntu14.04中readelf文件vmlinux才发现Entry竟然被汉化成了“入口点地址”，所以grep Entry肯定找不到啦。最后把“Entry”改成“入口点地址”，再把$$4改成$$2就可以完成编译了。

这种问题着实让人哭笑不得，看来做开发的系统最好还是别汉化。开发中出现疑难异常问题的时候也可以从系统的语言环境考虑下。
