Code Sourcery Ver for compilation

An1 · July 6, 2011, 6:03am

Hi

I want to modify u-boot and kernel and compile it to generate the
images for my Angstrom linux on beagle board Xm Ver B. I am confused
to what toolchain i have to download from the code sourcery website.
Please can anyone tell me specifically tell me the toolchain to use.
my host PC is ubuntu linux on which i would be compiling the code. Any
link would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Anuj.

hi

I am using Code Sourcery_G++_Lite_for_ARM_GNU_Linux from
http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm/portal/release1802

Is this the correct toolchain. It seems to be correct. I set the path
for cross compile and write command as 'make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-
angstrom-linux-gnueabi- omap3_beagle_defconfig'

it is giving me error as

make[1]: *** No rule to make target `omap3_beagle_deconfig'. Stop.
make: *** [omap3_beagle_deconfig] Error 2

what is the problem.

Thanks

Anuj.

'make omap3_beagle_config' is the right command.

Koen_Kooi · July 6, 2011, 8:20am

why don't you just follow the instructions on the angstrom website?

_BH_SHEK · July 6, 2011, 9:33am

I think you should also include ARCH=arm to your make command.
make ARCH=arm omap3_beagle_defconfig

Also, it would be better as Koen suggested to go through the steps
provided in Angstrom website.

Hi

I followed the steps from the angstrom website but i get lot of parse
errors. The output is as below

i think my configuration is wrong. my local.conf file contains only
the 3 lines.

MACHINE = "beagleboard"
TARGET_ARCH = "arm"
DISTRO = "angstrom-2011.3"

what is the problem?

Thanks

Anuj.

Hi

Can anybody please tel me the solution to the problem.

Thanks

Anuj.

Joel_A_Fernandes · July 7, 2011, 4:51am

Your local.conf doesn't seem to be the one generate by Angstrom setup
scripts. Ideally you shouldn't have to be worried about local.conf as
the scripts take care of everything.

Why don't you start from scratch?

Following the instructions here, carefully and slowly:

Hi

Even if i do not change anything in local.conf and follow the
procedure on the site then also i am getting errors. The errors are
different this time but related to parse errors only.

Hi

I started from scratch got bitbake and openembedded from git and
followed the instructions from http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/building-angstrom
but i got errors

How much clearer can the error message be?
DO NOT USE BITBAKE AS ROOT

You're logged in as 'root' - this is considered very unsafe and BitBake
is not willing to help you kill your system.
DO NOT USE BITBAKE AS ROOT

The problem is clearly stated 4 lines above: "Do not use Bitbake as root." .
Sometimes it worth to read output messages before asking in mail list

Hi

I actually read the problem but did not understand the problem. please
elaborate.

Hi

I understood the problem now am running as normal user and i run the
commands as sudo and then the command

sudo MACHINE=beagleboard ./oebb.sh config beagleboard
sudo MACHINE=beagleboard ./oebb.sh update
sudo MACHINE=beagleboard ./oebb.sh bitbake virtual/kernel

i get error

I am facing a lot of problems here. can anybody give certain procedure
step by step
i am doing as on site

but still am getting lot of errors.

Thanks

Why are you using sudo to run the commands? There is no need and indeed
running via sudo is just as dangerous as being logged in as root.

_BH_SHEK · July 7, 2011, 12:50pm

Buddy, do not use as root means you should be executing it as a normal
user not as a root user or you should not be using "sudo" to execute
your commands.
