使用apt-cache search搜索想要的软件包

我在编译u-boot代码的时候遇到了如下问题：

LD      test/dm/built-in.o
  CC      examples/standalone/stubs.o
  LD      examples/standalone/libstubs.o
  CC      examples/standalone/hello_world.o
  LD      examples/standalone/hello_world
  OBJCOPY examples/standalone/hello_world.srec
  OBJCOPY examples/standalone/hello_world.bin
  LDS     u-boot.lds
  LD      u-boot
  OBJCOPY u-boot.srec
  OBJCOPY u-boot.bin
  CFG     u-boot.cfg
./scripts/dtc-version.sh: line 17: dtc: command not found
./scripts/dtc-version.sh: line 18: dtc: command not found
*** Your dtc is too old, please upgrade to dtc 1.4 or newer
Makefile:1298: recipe for target 'checkdtc' failed
make: *** [checkdtc] Error 1

从提示信息可以看到是因为u-boot配置了设备树，但是在编译的时候找不到编译设备树的工具dtc。

那么，如果我想通过apt-get install 来安装dtc的话，又该安装那个软件包呢？如果直接写dtc，会出现如下错误：

pengdl@pengdl-HP:~/work/study/qemu_study/u-boot/u-boot$ sudo apt-get install dtc
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package dtc

显然没有叫做dtc的软件包。

 

解决办法：

使用apt-cache search命令，搜索包含有dtc的软件包的名字：

pengdl@pengdl-HP:~/work/study/qemu_study/u-boot/u-boot$ sudo apt-cache search dtc
[sudo] password for pengdl: 
device-tree-compiler - Device Tree Compiler for Flat Device Trees
ddtc - Deal with ddts mails
dtc-xen - SOAP daemon and scripts to allow control panel management for Xen VMs
dtc-xen-firewall - small firewall script for your dom0
sbox-dtc - CGI chroot wrapper script for safer hosting environment

可以看到，第一个 device-tree-compiler 最合适，正是我们要找的。
下面安装这个软件包

pengdl@pengdl-HP:~/work/study/qemu_study/u-boot/u-boot$ sudo apt-get install device-tree-compiler

安装完后，就可以找到dtc这个工具了：

pengdl@pengdl-HP:~/work/study/qemu_study/u-boot/u-boot$ which dtc
/usr/bin/dtc

 再次编译u-boot：

  LD      drivers/usb/gadget/built-in.o
