cc1: Invalid option `long-calls'

[pdedecker]

I can't compile Rockbox. When I run the make command, I get this error: cc1: Invalid option `long-calls'. What does that mean? I should mention that I'm not using Cygwin to compile since I already am on Linux (Kubuntu 6.10).

Here's the full output:

You're not using the recommended version of arm-elf-gcc. Rockbox recommends 4.0.3, and you're using a 2.95.3

[pdedecker]

Yeah, I had to Google it to get arm-elf-gcc because it is not included in the Kubuntu repositories. Where can I download the correct version?

[Llorean]

You can use the rockboxdev.sh script in the /tools/ folder of the Rockbox source.

Can a person on windows use that file to replace the old version arm-elf? If yes, how? and if not, could you tell me where to go to get the new version? Thanks a bunch.

[GodEater]

That what depend on which windows solution you're using for you build environment. Cygwin, VMWare or coLinux ?

[wtfmates]

I'm using cygwin. Sorry, forgot to include it in the original post.

I have vmware downloaded as well, but cygwin would be more conveniant for me If I could do it in there.

I'm using cygwin. Sorry, forgot to include it in the original post.

Well our development guide for setting up cygwin includes packages to download that will set up the right compiler versions - have you read it ?

The VMWare image we ship already has them installed. Entirely up to you which route you go.

[wtfmates]

I followed the guide, but some of the packages listed in the guide weren't included in the list of packages to download. This old version of arm-elf-gcc I had to download and install myself, but I didn't know what version it was.



Oh well, I'm using vmware now and it's compiling without a problem. Thanks for your time.

[wtfmates]

And now I run into a problem on vmplayer. I have no way to transfer the zip I made between the virtual machine and windows. Hell I can't even view the compiled zip.

[bluebrother]

the vmware machine has a network share you can access using \\debian from windows explorer.

[wtfmates]

It says windows cannot find \\debian.

You need to add Rockbox as one of the install sites to get our pre-built compilers.

It says windows cannot find \\debian.

It's actually \\debian\user, but this is a common error. Just do a search for that term and you'll get lots of search results.

Alright, I'm using vmware. I though it was a problem with my computer, but I restarted vmware and I could access the files. Thanks for all of the help people. I was finally able to compile and patch my own build. I want to learn more about this stuff though. It's pretty entertaining.
