Hi david,

I'm not sure if you mean installing arm-linux-gcc on the board or on your
host which makes more sense.

In last case, just extract arm-linux-gcc-4.3.2.tgz, supplied on DVD, to
it's default path which is /usr/local/arm...

Regards,

Oscar

Hi David/ Oscar

I am insteret on mini2440 wirh Android too.

Please tell me how to install arm-linux-gcc into PC(ubuntu).

same as Oscar said.
From linux directory on the DVD disk, you can see arm-linux-gcc-4.3.2.tgz
file. simple extract it into a directory on your PC host, and export the
PATH, like this:
I copy arm-linux-gcc-4.3.2.tgz to /home/mgdaubo/compiler, then:
# tar xvzf arm-linux-gcc-4.3.2.tgz
it creates the directory: /home/mgdaubo/usr/local/arm/4.3.2/
# export PATH=$PATH:/home/mgdaubo/compiler/usr/local/arm/4.3.2/bin

Now type:
# arm-linux-gcc -v
If you see the gcc version, then you can compile your program, for example,
the "helo world":
extract the examples-20100108.tar.gz in "linux/" directory in your origin
DVD, then go to the "examples/hello/" directory, type:
# make
Or manual:
# arm-linux-gcc -o hello hello.c
It creates a binary file named "hello". You can copy it to SD card or USB
flash disk, bring it to your 2440 board, and run:
# cd udisk
udisk#./hello

hope this helpful.

Use this:
arm-linux-gcc -mcpu=arm9 -Wall -o progName progCode.c

Since I have to use both compilers (gcc and arm-linux-gcc) I have a small
shell script (which I stored in /bin) to take care of the compilation.

It compiles the program and produces an executable file with the same name
as the code file (so for 'example.c' it will produce the executable
'example') and shows any warnings/errors on the screen.

I'm not a shell expert, so it's probably not the best way to do it, but it
works for me. Here:


Code:
#!/bin/bash

#variables por parametros
archivoEntrada=$1.c
archivoSalida=$1

echo
echo
echo
echo
clear
#echo $archivoEntrada
#echo "Exportando path"
export
PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/opt/crosstool/arm-linux/gcc-3.3.4-glibc-2.3.2/bin
#echo 

#echo "Compilando con arm-linux-gcc"
#echo "$archivoEntrada to> $archivoSalida"
arm-linux-gcc -mcpu=arm9 -Wall -o $archivoSalida $archivoEntrada
echo

#echo "Integridad del ejecutable ARM-Binary:"
#file $archivoSalida
#echo

#echo "Modificando permisos to> a+rwx"
chmod a+rx $archivoSalida
echo

#echo "---Ok---"
echo 
echo
echo
echoIf you want to use it, then to compile a program you need to type the
name of the file without the '.c'. So if you have a program called
'code.c', you should type 
Code:
compile codeand it will produce an executable called 'code'

Note: If you understand spanish then it should be easy to figure out what's
going on in the code

hi mgdaubo,

Now, I am using Fedora 15 OS, and want to install arm-linux-gcc 4.4.3
But I don't know config it. pls help me.

Thank you

how to instal arm linux gcc compiler on ubuntu

just extract it on pc

You can use the following command

sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi

or

sudo apt-get install  gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf

apt-get in Fedora? Really? Fedora is a RPM based Linux, isn't it? Ergo, no
apt.

I answered this question, not your. Really, did you read all the questions?

HI can any one tell me how can i install arm-linux gcc, on fedora 17.
thanks

I have installed all cross compile packages thus far but am having a

This is the target machine I need to cross compile for. What flags should I
use when compiling? Any help would be greatly appreciated.. Thanks in
advance.

Step 1:

Uncompressed the installation package
  $ sudo tar zxpf arm-linux-gcc-4.3.2.tgz
or
  # tar zxpf arm-linux-gcc-4.3.2.tgz

Step 2:

Copy the "arm" folder to the /usr/local directory. This is not mandatory.
  $ sudo cp -r /home/mathew/Documents/usr/local/arm /usr/local
or
  # cp -r /home/mathew/Documents/usr/local/arm /usr/local

Step 3:

Before installing we need some essential tools and library files   
  # apt-get install build-essential automake autoconf libtool
  # apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0  
or
  $ sudo apt-get install build-essential automake autoconf libtool
  $ sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0  

Step 4:

Add the path of the arm linux gcc compiler by
  # export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/arm/4.3.2/bin
or
  $ sudo export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/arm/4.3.2/bin
  
Step 5:

Verify the installation by
  $ arm-linux-gcc -v

I am installing Arm linux gcc 4.3.2
when I fire the command on terminal -------->

apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0

it is showing this error message everytime------------>

Please help Me to solve this problem ASAP.

Thank you in advance.

Just a thought ... are you running this on a 32 or 64 bit host?


Also what happens when you do:

   apt-get upgrade

It's 64 bit host.....

and i have already Updated through apt-get upgrade.


I have to change in .bashrc file or not ????
means i have to change any PATH in this file???

What target are you trying to cross-compile for? mini2440?  When I was
doing this I only had a 32 bit host.

I recall another lib I think people with 64 bit machines had to use. 
Trying searching for 

http://www.friendlyarm.net/forum/topic/1462 

I see you posted on this thread as well.  Did 

sudo apt-get install ia32-libs

not work?

When I Enter the command --------> apt-get install ia32-libs

it is showing this Message as below....

-------------------------------------------------------------
Reading package lists... Done

Package ia32-libs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or

E: Package 'ia32-libs' has no installation candidate
-------------------------------------------------------------

and right now i am doing it in 32bit. 

Thank you,Davef
