Some problems compiling

[Phalangees]

I've spent 6 hours trying to get this to compile and I just can't seem to get the bootloader for my Toshiba Gigabeat F10. I've run rockboxdev.sh and all that stuff. did the ../tools/configure and that worked fine but then when I try to do the make command I get this:

Code: [Select]

make[1]: `rdf2binary' is up to date.
make[1]: `convbdf' is up to date.
make[1]: `scramble' is up to date.
make[1]: `descramble' is up to date.
make[1]: `bmp2rb' is up to date.
make[1]: `codepages' is up to date.
cpp0: config.h: No such file or directory
CONVBDF
CC sysfont.c
Header parsed
cc1: Invalid option `long-calls'
make[1]: *** [/home/kyle/rockbox/build/firmware/sysfont.o] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

any help at all would be great. thanks.

Your compiler seems to be weird.

Try invoking 'make V=1' to get to see the full command lines used.

And what does

arm-elf-gcc --version

say?

[Phalangees]

Code: [Select]

kyle@kyle-desktop:~$ arm-elf-gcc --version
2.95.3

[Bagder]

Right, then you have yourself to blame. You should use 4.0.2!

[Phalangees]

woops.  

how do i update??
(i'm using ubuntu dapper which is based off of debian)

is their a download off of this site?

[Bagder]

There's lots of docs on how to do it, but tools/rockboxdev.sh is a quick and easy route to take on Linux.

[Phalangees]

i did that once before but i'll try it again. i'll post when it's done and let you know how everything goes.

thanks for you help by the way.

[Phalangees]

ok well i ran it and it didn't help. i added the thing to my path and it didn't help. still the same output from arm-elf-gcc --version. anyways i found a download called gcc-4.0.2 so i''ve spent a couple hours installing that. everything should work fine after i get this installed i think. and if it doesn't i'll come back to here with more problems.

[Phalangees]

ok well i have GCC version 4.0.2 but not arm-elf-gcc. i think i have to build it but i don't know how. Please help!!

[Llorean]

http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/CrossCompiler if you feel you must build it yourself.

[Phalangees]

wait i'm guessing just running rockboxdev.sh isn't enough. i looked in the folder and found this file:

Code: [Select]

== Summary ==
Target: arm-elf
gcc 4.0.3
binutils 2.16.1
install in /usr/local/arm-elf
when complete, make your PATH include /usr/local/arm-elf/bin

^how do i do these things??

[Phalangees]

Ok well i did some more researching and I found out i have to "us the gcc source tree to build arm-elf-gcc" but i have no idea how to.

lol. Why is it so complicated to install rockbox?? lol.

[Llorean]

It's not complicated at all to install Rockbox. But you're trying to compile it, something entirely unnecessary when you just want to install. As well, I assume you didn't follow the link I gave you, since you seem to be rambling on about not having any idea how to do something that the link I gave covers completely.
