For users of the Atmel AT91SAM7 and AT91SAM9 ARM CPU chips. Atmel has taken a new direction by combining on chip flash and ram with the ARM CPU on a single die. This provides low cost devices for small systems using the ARM CPU.
This group is to exchange information to help users get started and learn how to use the devices.
so i'm installing the gnu arm compiler for the first time. I'm
following the exact instructions provided by the official support
section of the gnu arm website.
I created a folder called build-binutils and i did the following
$ ../binutils-2.17/configure --target=arm-elf --prefix=/usr/local/arm7
--enable-interwork --enable-multilib
$ make all install
$ export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/arm7/bin"
I also changed my ~/.bash~ to reflect my new path variable.
This worked perfectly.
Then i created another folder called build-gcc and the following
$ cd build-gcc
$ ../gcc-4.1.1/configure --target=arm-elf --prefix=/usr/local/arm7
--enable-interwork --enable-multilib --enable-languages="c,c++"
--with-newlib
$ make all-gcc install-gcc
then I get the error:
make[2]: arm-elf-ar: Command not found
make[2]: *** [libgcc.a] Error 127
however when i type arm-elf-ar It definetly seems to be working.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
