Hi,

I'm trying to make a cross compiler for the arm-none-eabi target, but following the directions in the tutorial results in this error when making binutils:

Code:
gcc -g -O2   -static-libstdc++ -static-libgcc -Wl,--stack,12582912   \

make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/build-binutilsarm'
make: *** [Makefile:836: all] Error 2


I can get a working binutils by passing --disable-gdb to the configure script, which was good enough for me to begin with, but I'm at the stage where a working debugger would be handy and so I'd like to solve this.

Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?

If all you want is get your cross-compiler and move on, you can try using my Makefile here:

https://github.com/kiznit/build-gcc-and-binutils

Simply type:

Code:
make arm-none-eabi


If you get errors, it likely means you are missing some prerequesite librairies.

PREFIX is set to "$(HOME)/opt/cross" in gcc.mk, change it to what you want / need.

Thanks kzinti,

Should also have mentioned that I'm doing this under cygwin. I had a look at your makefile though and the sequence of commands seems to be exactly what I was using.

Did you get it working under Cygwin?

I found that the current flex in cygwin with 2.6.3, while I was able to build binutils in mingw with flex 2.5.35

GDB depends on using #define to rename a bunch of yy* symbols, including renaming yylex to ada_lex.
But, with flex 2.6.3 it emits #defines that override this attempt by GDB.
(See the generated ada-lex.c).

Anyways, add "--prefix=ada_" to the FLEX command line
binutils\gdb\Makefile.in
in the .l.c: rule (line 1889)

was:
$(FLEX) -o$@ $< && \
change to:
$(FLEX) -o$@ --prefix=ada_ $< && \

Re-configure and now building GDB works (in cygwin)!

I'm assuming this is really a compatibility problem with the new version of flex and not specifically with Cygwin.

Why do you need Ada?

Code:
--enable-languages=c,c++
should cover 146% of your needs
