error in building the tools on debian etch

(1/4) > >>

scharkalvin:
I am following the directions to build the tools in
http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CrossCompiler
for the "automatic build".  I downloaded the latest souces and
as root executed the rockboxdev.sh script.  
I am running amd64 debian etch.

I am getting the following output to running the script:

Make your PATH include :/usr/local/arm-elf/bin

the "set" command shows the PATH variable as:
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11

also
ls /usr/local
yeilds:
bin  etc  games  include  jre1.6.0_01  jre-6u1-linux-amd64.bin  lib  man  sbin  share  src

krazykit:
It sounds like you don't have your toolchain set up in Debian.  Try running "aptitude install build-essential" as root, then re-running rockboxdev.sh

Debian must have changed in recent years.  In the past GCC et-al was always installed by default.  Ubuntu requires that you install the tools.  Anyway I did apt-get install gcc.
I'll try the build essential target and see what happens.

scharkalvin:
Thanks, that seems to have done it.
Egad's, Debian has become Ubuntuized!  This is the first
time I had to install code generation tools in Debian.
Wasn't like that up till and including Woody.
(I just switched from Gentoo to Etch, and it's a bit of a shock.
I really liked Gentoo, but it finally got terminally broken due to
the developers not knowing when to keep their fingers out of
the plumbing....)

OT:

Odd - my gentoo install is still working fine...
