Thanks for the help!

I had a go at doing the CC=... and RANLIB=... on the same line as the ./configure as suggested. This seems to have the dedsired effect, the configure script reports that gcc is a cross compiler and when i look at the Makefile all the paths are pointing to the right place. i.e. the cross compiler i installed.

Now when i come to make, it runs for a bit but then reports the error :

/usr/local/arm/gnu/release/lib/gcc-lib/arm-linux/2.95.3/../../../../arm-linux/include/bits/errno.h:25: linux/errno.h: No such file or directory

Why is the file bits/errno.h looking for another file of the same name? Is this meant to be an ARM specific errno.h? I did a search for this file and came up with loads :

/usr/include/asm/errno.h /usr/include/linux/errno.h /usr/include/bits/errno.h /usr/include/errno.h /usr/include/sys/errno.h /usr/local/arm/gnu/release/arm-linux/include/bits/errno.h /usr/local/arm/gnu/release/arm-linux/include/errno.h /usr/local/arm/gnu/release/arm-linux/include/sys/errno.h /usr/src/linux-2.4.3/include/asm-i386/errno.h /usr/src/linux-2.4.3/include/linux/errno.h

Which one is it looking for and how do i tell it to use that specific one?

Hi, I am wanting to compile libmad for ARM. I have installed :

arm-linux-binutils-2.11-1 arm-linux-gcc-2.95-1 arm-linux-glibc-2.1.3-1

To cross compile i do :

export CC=/usr/local/arm/gnu/release/bin/arm-linux-gcc export RANLIB=/usr/local/arm/gnu/release/bin/arm-linux-ranlib export LD=/usr/local/arm/gnu/release/bin/arm-linux-ld export NM=/usr/local/arm/gnu/release/bin/arm-linux-nm

./configure --host=arm-linux --enable-speed --enable-fpm=arm

The configure script completes fine but in the messages it prints i

see

...

the lines :

checking weather the C compiler (gcc ) is a cross-compiler ... no . . cheching for ld used by GCC... (cached) /usr/bin/ld

so it is not using the cross compiler that i installed. I read in another mail that i may have to configure manually. Is this the case

or

...

is there somthing i am missing out?

Thanks in advance.

Try setting the target to arm-linux, not the host.

Actually I think host is correct. Target would be used in the case of building a cross-compiler, to describe the platform on which programs generated by the cross-compiler will run.
