Compile with DEBUG=yes - Error in u-boot: "DEBUG must be boolean"

Dear all,

I try to complie LibreELEC with the following setup:

PROJECT=Amlogic DEVICE=LePotato ARCH=arm DEBUG=yes VALGRIND=yes make image

After several hours of compilation, this happens:

OBJCOPY u-boot.hex
Makefile:156: *** DEBUG must be boolean.  Stop.
make[2]: *** [/home/lux/official/LibreELEC.tv/build.LibreELEC-LePotato.arm-9.0-devel/u-boot-a43076c/Makefile:918: acs.bin] Error 2
make[1]: *** [Makefile:147: sub-make] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/lux/official/LibreELEC.tv/build.LibreELEC-LePotato.arm-9.0-devel/u-boot-a43076c'
Makefile:12: recipe for target 'image' failed
make: *** [image] Error 2

According to Compile [LibreELEC.wiki] DEBUG=yes is right, but seems to be a problem. Any help?

Btw.: Compiling without DEBUG/VALGRIND went smoothly beforehand. Same code base.

Thanks!

EDIT: Stupid me - there is a path to the Makefile - will have a look myself, but it's gone right now, since I started over with make clean... Argh, think before you write/delete... Long day...

OK, inserted into

/LibreELEC.tv/build.LibreELEC-LePotato.arm-9.0-devel/u-boot-a43076c/Makefile

at top the line

DEBUG=1

So now it eval's as boolean if needed...hope that does not break other DEBUG flags. At least, it currently continues compiling.

The offending file seems to be the

/LibreELEC.tv/build.LibreELEC-LePotato.arm-9.0-devel/u-boot-a43076c/arch/arm/cpu/armv8/gxl/firmware/acs/Makefile

but somehow I could not get this debugged - my understanding of Makefiles is not good enough.

@whoever maintains this repo: Perhaps have a look at some point...

Short update: With DEBUG=1 as mentioned it compiles through, however, VALGRIND=yes is not supported for LePotato/AMlogic it seems. Leaving VALGRIND option out and it's OK.
