Toolchain

Where to get a ARM toolchain?

Download a prebuilt toolchain

You can find http://sourcery.mentor.com/public/gnu_toolchain/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/ more or less recent toolchains.

Download the .tar.bz2 file.

Uncompress it:

# tar -xvjf arm-${version}-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.bz2

Create a file named: /home/$USER/.cross_compile that contains:

export ARCH=arm
export CROSS_COMPILE=/home/georges/tools/toolchain/arm-${version}/bin/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-

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

Use the Android Build System toolchain

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