Hello,

I’m following the steps on the Splash Screen (Linux) page and I came across some errors.

Everything appeared to work fine until I got to the step where I needed to compile the kernel. Here’s what I’m getting.

chemtrac@chemtrac:~/linux-toradex$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-
make: arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc: Command not found

I’m running on an Ubuntu 64-bit system. I’m assuming I need to install some additional libraries.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I tried sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5 lib32bz2-1.0 but it didn’t fix the problem.

Hi

make: arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc: Command not found
means it can not find the compiler.

Please refer to compiling from source article and then set the PATH and CROSS_COMPILE variable corresponding to the compiler you’ve installed.

Discovered the problem. I didn’t notice that there was a difference in the documentation. I was using arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi instead of arm-linux-gnueabi.

Thanks.
