After, I got the beagleboard boot up, I tried to compile a loadable
kernel module on beagleboard running Angstrom. However, when I tried
to use the gnu make, the command is not found:
root@beagleboard:~/make_381#
make
-sh: make: not found
Therefore, I tried to download the source from gnu.org to install gnu
make on my beagleboard. I followed the instructions that came with the
source code, which requires me to run ./configure as the first step, I
did but I got the following:
root@beagleboard:~/make_381# ./

It seems to me like some of the required libraries or something are
missing, I tried doing a "opkg install gawk or awk" but none of them
work, anyone knows how to get gnu make working on beagleboard ?
Is any reason you did not do cross-compile in Host PC? You should
probably cross-compile your stuff in host pc and then copy the
binaries to target file system.
I replied from Web; but somehow the reply did not send out. I am trying again...

So I wouldn’t be too concerned about awk and more concerned about gcc. If you are compiling on the beagleboard then you will need a native ARM C compiler and probably the best thing to look for would be a pre-built toolchain on gnuarm.

I didnt get the tftp setup, and I have to plug the SD card in and out
which is troublesome, however, I just got tftp setup now, and it
worked well..

I tried to pass my compiler through the CC variable, it shows that it
can find the gcc now, but I'm getting another error.. any idea what
can possibly cause this? I got the compiler from http://narcissus.angstrom-distribution.org/
online builder..

beagleboard.
==>>opkg update
==>>opkg install task-native-sdk
What does task-native-sdk actually install? where can I find all the
list of stuff that I can install using "opkg install"? Anyway I did
the 2 u mentioned + "opkg install make", and I can use gnu make
now..
if you are used to cross-compiling for ARM on Ubuntu,
could you explain how to configure everything?
i have installed the cross compiler via sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi
(don’t know if that is ok for the Angstrom ?)
i’m trying to cross-compile the NTP source code from NTP.org,
which is using autoconf,
but i’m getting an error which i don’t understand:
when i run the configure, it gives me the error:
configure: error: crossing compiling: use --with-yielding_select=yes|no|manual
i added a config.site file including the CC, LDflags and CPPFLAGS to have the correct reference:
CC=arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc-4.7
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib/gcc-cross/arm-linux-gnueabi/4.7
CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/lib/gcc-cross/arm-linux-gnueabi/4.7/include -I/usr/lib/gcc-cross/arm-linux-gnueabi/4.7/include-fixed"
and my parameters of my configure look like this:
./configure --host=arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi --build=x86_64-unknown-linux
Is there anything else i need to be able to crosscompile this successfully for Angstrom?
