Could someone out there tell me where to get the GP32 SDK? I've been pointed to the official page, but I've never actually found it for downloading... :(
Oh yeah, if someone know how to get the unsupported tarball of the Debian GP32/ARM GCC crosscompiler for Linux to work properly, I would be much grateful. :huh:
 
I have Mandrake Linux. I was told, where I got the package, to use the Debian-package-manager-thingy, which I don't have. So, the simpliest way out was to download the tarballs. Installing was no problem, but the ARM GCC complains about not having the correct version of libc. I've both 3.1 (libc.so.6) and 2.95 (libc-2.2.5.so) versions installed, so where lies the problem? :(
(Perhaps it requires a ARM libc, but I have it in the bag as well...)
 
check the error from libc.
if it happens when the makefile call b2fxec try to replace it by bin2fxe.

i'm going to write a mini howto to install correctely gcc arm cross compiler under unix systems.

well i succeed on my gentoo distrib, so i believe it is possible under debian.
for the other distrib i really dunno.
 
I have recompiled b2fxec for linux.. also a statically compiled version is available.
 
Does the GP32/ARM GCC automagically call b2fxe when compiling a source
The makefiles with the example sources in the .tar call b2fxe (and will also copy to a card reader if you use 'make install', or directly to the gp32 with 'make install_link'). If you're trying to compile without using one of those makefiles then you're likely to have all kinds of trouble.
 
Ah, but the problem is that it's GCC itself that goes ballistic. The thing is that I can't even compile.
Observe:
$ arm-thumb-elf-gcc
arm-thumb-elf-gcc: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by arm-thumb-elf-gcc)

:unsure:
 
Aye, I've discovered where the fault lies. Some ignorant hacker (me, that is) belived that he had a newer version of glibc than he actually had.
Sorry for being such a moron! :(

Oh well. But there are still far too less howtos how to setup a working crosscompiling environment.

Thanks for taking your time. Now I shall crawl back under my stone. :unsure:
 
...no fair!
If I want to install this glibc-2.3 rpm, I have to basically upgrade my entire system...
THANK YOU REDHAT FOR INVENTING THE WORST PACKAGING SYSTEM EVER!!
:angry:

Shutup!Shutup!Shutup!Gah!
