CROSS COMPILE SETUP PROBLEM

h
i am new to mini2440...

when i am trying to set up cross compile environment with linux mint....

i am unable to make my installed tool chain to store in "/usr/local/arm"

here i am mentioning th steps i followed...

1. i copied arm-linux-gcc.4.4.3.tgz fine into /tmp
2. i enetered the command tar xvzf arm-linux-gcc.4.4.3.tgz -C /

but still my installed file "FriendlyArm" is storing into /tmp/opt instead
of in the expecting directory /usr/local/arm

actually if i dont give "-C /" in the command mentioned in step 2 then this
might be happen.....but even though i am adding "-C /" at the end of my
command still it is storing in /tmp/opt.

and i am unable to copy the installed file from "/tmp/opt" to
"/usr/local/arm"

can any one please tell me how to make my installed file tobe stored in
"usr/local/arm" path.


Note: here the inverted quotes are mentioned just for convenience, they are
not the part of commands.

Thank you

Personally, I would not use /tmp.  I normally just place the .tgz file in
/home or home/tmp

wouldn't you have to say

   tar xvzf arm-linux-gcc.4.4.3.tgz -C /usr/local/arm

You might have to make that directory first.
