Building Gnuarm toolchain from source

问题

I want to build a toolchain from gnuarm.org from sources. I don't want to use binary version because i'm running x64 linux. Can you point me to some kind of tutorial?

回答1:

You need to install libx11-dev to compile Insight.

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev

Besides that, your own answer works just fine.

Edit: Oh, and you might miss termcap as well, get it here: GNU Termcap

Edit2: Configure seems to be tight-ass about ignoring return values "'xxx', declared with attribute warn_unused_result", so you might need to modify the options or about 12 instances to catch return values to get clean build.

Here are the default commands/parameters used to build the binary packages. Download the sources, unpack and issue them:

1. cd [binutils-build]
2. [binutils-source]/configure --target=arm-elf --prefix=[toolchain-prefix] --enable-interwork --enable-multilib --with-float=soft
3. make all install
4. export PATH="$PATH:[toolchain-prefix]/bin"
5. cd [gcc-build]
6. [gcc-source]/configure --target=arm-elf --prefix=[toolchain-prefix] --enable-interwork --enable-multilib --with-float=soft --enable-languages="c,c++" --with-newlib --with-headers=[newlib-source]/newlib/libc/include
7. make all-gcc install-gcc
8. cd [newlib-build]
9. [newlib-source]/configure --target=arm-elf --prefix=[toolchain-prefix] --enable-interwork --enable-multilib --with-float=soft
   10. make all install
   11. cd [gcc-build]
   12. make all install
   13. cd [gdb-build]
   14. [gdb-source]/configure --target=arm-elf --prefix=[toolchain-prefix] --enable-interwork --enable-multilib --with-float=soft
   15. make all install

lines 11-12 seem to have no effect. Using gcc < 4.x is not advised, and building binutils can give the following error:

../../binutils-2.19/gas/config/tc-arm.c: In function 's_arm_unwind_save_mmxwr': ../../binutils-2.19/gas/config/tc-arm.c:3459: error: format not a string literal and no format arguments

the solution is easy, just add "%s" as the FIRST parameter to the lines with error as the patch here suggests: http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-binutils@gnu.org/msg06475.html

I could not build insight but i guess it is possible to debug it with something else.

1. Download the sources available under "Files"
2. Unpack them

3. Go to each unpacked directory and type:

   ./configure --help

   to get the available options, then run

   ./configure [options]

   make

   make check

   make install
