Cross compilers
Pavel Pisa prepares cross toolchains for several architectures as Debian packages. These cross toolchains were prepared according to How to build GNU cross-compilers page.
Installation on Debian/Ubuntu
- Add APT source:
echo deb ftp://rtime.felk.cvut.cz/debian unstable main >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/rtime-debs.list
- Update list of available packages
apt-get update
- Install packages from cross-dev section (e.g. using apt-get, aptitude or synaptic)
These packages have not correct dependencies. You need to install libmpfr1ldbl a libgmp3c2 packages manually. Packages are not signed so you will see a warning during installation.
There are packages for GCC, Binutils and Newlib/Glibc for the following architecture
- arm-elf
- arm-linux-gnueabi
- powerpc-elf
- powerpc-linux-gnu
- mips-elf
- msp430 Uniarch devel
Packages are prepared to run on i386 and amd64 architectures.
Installation on Gentoo
emerge -av dpkg
Dpkg complains about missing files, so we create them manually:
touch /var/lib/dpkg/{status,available}
touch /usr/local/bin/update-rc.d
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/update-rc.d
Install any packages you want:
dpkg -i binutils-powerpc-linux-gnu_2.18.0-1_i386.deb gcc-powerpc-linux-gnu_4.3.2-1_i386.deb dpkg -i glibc-powerpc-linux-gnu_2.7-1_all.deb
Installation on distributions without dpkg
- Download .deb packages from ftp://rtime.felk.cvut.cz/debian/pool/
- For every package do the following:
ar x binutils-powerpc-linux-gnu_2.18.0-1_i386.deb # Extract Debian package tar -C / -xvzf data.tar.gz # Untar data from the package to the filesystem root
