Toolchain

Where to get a ARM toolchain?

You can find here more or less recent toolchains.

Download the .tar.bz2 file. Uncompress it # tar -xvjf arm-2009q3-67-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2

I suggest to create a file name /home/$USER/.cross_compile that contains:

export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=/home/georges/tools/toolchain/arm-2009q3/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi

Each time, you need to build a software with this toolchain, you just have to source it.

If you are building Android, you can find it here: prebuilts/gcc/linux-x86/arm/arm-eabi-4.6/bin/.
