[SOLVED] Building ARM-NONE-EABI toolchain

[shanky07]

Hello

I am trying to build arm-none-eabi tool chain to compile code for AEM7 lpc2148.

I followed the steps mentioned on the following link

https://imvoid.wordpress.com/2013/05/01/building-the-gnu-arm-toolchain-for-bare-metal/

But, when I entered
../../src/gcc-4.8.0/configure --target=arm-none-eabi --prefix=$MYTOOLS --enable-interwork --enable-multilib --enable-languages="c,c++" --with-newlib --with-headers=../../src/newlib-1.20.0/newlib/libc/include/ --with-system-zlib

I got an error. Please check attached image.

How to solve it. Did i miss something? How do I proceed to build arm-none-eabi successfully.

Hello, i also had a big headache trying to make my toolchain for debian, in the end i just went here: https://launchpad.net/gcc-arm-embedded
I didnt compile anything, just take the binaries, place it in a folder and had that path into your ~/.bashrc file. You also need some dependencies.
In that link there is also a pdf explaining.
Probably is better to build it, but at least i got it working. Hope it helps.

Hello Ricardo,
Thank You for reply. I checked the link. I ll try building the toolchain. Is there any example code or some help for how to compile code for ARM?? Have you checked. I ll google it. But if you have any such material can you please share...
Thanks in advance...

As suggested by gcc itself..did you try --with-gmp ,--with-mpfr options???
you may also consider renaming the gmp and mpfr folders followed by their version number to(gmp-4.20 for eg.)

Here's one link.

I haven't tried it myself though,hope it helps

Like ive said, you dont even need to build anything just download binaries and untar it into your ~/home/yourname/ , and then put the following into your ~/.bashrc

export PATH=$PATH:/home/yourname/gcc-arm-none-eabi-4_8-2013q4/bin/

, in the end of the file.
Before all of this you need to make sure you have installed with aptitude the package binutils. There is also a pdf with explanations on that website.
When ALL is finished reboot, and then type in the command arm-none-eabi-gcc --version.

Hello Roll No Three
I tried with --with-gmp ,--with-mpfr options but end up with error.
please see the following link
https://imvoid.wordpress.com/2013/05/01/building-the-gnu-arm-toolchain-for-bare-metal/

Here in Building the toolchain section- building gcc two commands are given I tried both but got above error.
