Compiling with ARM toolchain

I'm having a bit of trouble with installing the ARM toolchain, every time I try to run the arm-uclinux-elf-tools-base-gcc3.4.3-20050221.sh file, It always throws this error:

Code:

bunzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly;
   perhaps it is corrupted?  *Possible* reason follows.
bunzip2: Invalid argument
   Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)

It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.

You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover
data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.

tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

I'm not sure if I was supposed to download any sort of archive, or what ever else... and when you look in the code, it shows that it removes things... I'm definitely not understanding something.

My end goal is to compile modules, If I'm doing anything wrong, please let me know.

I never really understood why the toolchain was packaged in such a kludgey way. Regardless, it sounds like the file you downloaded is truncated or corrupted. Try comparing these binary md5sums against those of the toolchain for whichever system you are running to confirm if this is the case.

If it is indeed not corrupt, you'll have to post your system type so I can upload a tarball of the toolchain instead of some weird self-extracting tarball-in-a-shell-script. Unless you're running Linux on x86, in which case try downloading and extracting this tarball of the toolchain which includes the optional C++ and gdb packages. Note that it extracts to an absolute directory so you must run tar as root.

Moved to Application and Module Development.

It might be corrupted, as when I tried to download it from the wiki the link was broken. I only found the .sh after a long time of google searching.

But anyway, I'm running under linux, and I don't think I'm running x86. An actual .tar would be nice.

Well, which system are you running?

Post the output of

Code:

uname -a

2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Wed Apr 1 20:57:48 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux is what it gave me.

Although.. I'm not sure what I did but /usr is gone. By gone I mean GONE. I dunno what to do....

Oh well thanks.

Yeah, you're running x86. If you managed to somehow delete /usr then... I suppose you're going to have to reinstall everything.

mmm.. Ok, thanks.

I guess the /usr folder was moved, but I couldn't move it back... whoops.
Oh well I guess I'll re-install.

Allright, I re-installed, downloaded the archive, tried to make hotdog, but it still threw the error:

/bin/sh: libpng-config: not found

Where do I place all the files in the archive?

EDIT: Since I appear to have so many errors with compiling this, can I just download someone's compiled cross compiler?

libpng-config is part of a required library, libpng. It is separate from the compiler. You should install the development files for libpng, libpng-config is one of them.

Ok, after a long list of missing files I finally built hotdog. TTK now throws this error:

make[1]: Entering directory '/home/david/Desktop/Tools/ttk/build/ipod-hdog'
make[1]: *** No rule to make target 'all'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/david/Desktop/Tools/ttk/build/ipod-hdog'
make: *** [all] Error 2

EDIT: I got it all figured out, feel free to delete this topic.
