Cygwin: Yet another compiling problem

[aaron424]

While attempting to use Cygwin to patch rockbox, when I "type make to create make file" (following instructions from the simpleguidetocompiling)
Cygwin displays:
/bin/sh: arm-elf-gcc: command not found
/bin/sh: arm-elf-gcc: command not found
/bin/sh: arm-elf-gcc: command not found
/bin/sh: arm-elf-gcc: command not found

Over and over again. Can anyone help?

Did you make sure to install all of the correct packages by clicking on them in the installation setup, because it sounds like you dont have all of the packages installed.

[aaron424]

man, so I have to reinstall everything?

As well as being installed, they need to be in your $PATH.

To permanently do that, type the following command in Cygwin:

Code: [Select]

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/opt/arm/bin' >> ~/.profileNote: those are single-quotes, not backticks.

Then to apply that, either restart Cygwin, or type:

Code: [Select]

source ~/.profile
EDIT: No, you don't need to reinstall, just make sure you have actually installed the cross-compilers as specified in the instructions. Step 3 here.

How do I uninstall it? I wish to start over but it doesn't show up in windows add or remove programs.

However, as I said in my edit to my previous message, I don't think you need to reinstall Cygwin.

now when I try to get the

Devel - sdl (for the uisimulator)
Devel - m68k-elf-binutils
Devel - m68k-elf-gcc
Devel - sh-elf-binutils
Devel - sh-elf-gcc
Devel - arm-elf-binutill
Devel - arm-elf-gcc

during the install, it doesn't appear as an option
it's probably my fault, but I wonder if anyone can help

Did you add the custom cygwin source for the rockbox packages ?

[aaron424]

yes, I did use the http://www.rockbox.org/cygwin mirror.

[Chronon]

So, you added the Rockbox mirror, then selected it, then clicked the + next to "Devel" and there are no such options there?  ("Whatever the incorrect URL or whatever" doesn't inspire a lot of confidence that you carefully followed the instructions.)

but now the 8th time through  I realize that it displayed the "error finding .sig file" as described in the docs index, "In case you encounter an error regarding missing .sig file, supply the -X (--no-verify) command-line flag when using Cygwin's setup.exe. This can be added into the command-line invocation in a Windows shortcut, for convenience."

Sorry guys, Ill try to pay more attention and read the instructions

I'm glad you got that sorted out, and thanks for posting what the resolution to your problem was.  Hopefully it helps someone in the future who runs into similar trouble.

its alright alot of people seem to have this problem figuring out what is meant by that, and just assume it was nothing. I actually made that my mistake the first time i was compiling....
