I also tried to use WINE to connect a programming kit to using USB to my computer but was not able to do that due to permission issues, I guess. I am not sure about that because it did not occur to me then. Could you please share the details so that we could provide you with better pointers, if we already have had some such similar experience? > -- > http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers >

ARM cross-compiling issues
by Koustubh Sinkar 08 Feb '11

08 Feb '11

Namaskar: I have only used the Keil compiler for arm development before. Now I am trying to use the arm-gcc. I got this BlinkingLed program with my Olimex development board. I have been trying to compile it with the arm-gcc cross compiler from codesourcery as well as the one provided by redhat. The zip file which contains the sources as well as the errors for their respective compilations can be found here:- https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B36jlLaq9jMFMzMwMWQ5YTctZTk0YS00ZDdmLTgzMG… I can't make head or tail of the error messages thrown by the redhat cross-compiler. Please help me debug. Also I want to cross compile the Linux Kernel for ARM. I downloaded the source from kernel.org (2.6.36). i did the following changes ARCH?=arm CROSS_COMPILE ?= armv5tel-redhat-linux-gnueabi- I got this error while compiling the kernel for ARM after running make with only these modifications in the Makefile In file included from drivers/block/cciss.c:379: drivers/block/cciss_scsi.c: In function ‘scsi_cmd_stack_setup’: drivers/block/cciss_scsi.c:218: error: negative width in bit-field ‘<anonymous>’ drivers/block/cciss.c: In function ‘cciss_init’: drivers/block/cciss.c:4947: error: negative width in bit-field ‘<anonymous>’ make[2]: *** [drivers/block/cciss.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [drivers/block] Error 2 make: *** [drivers] Error 2 My Host Platform is Fedora 11 i386. Are there no other precautions to be taken while cross compilation??? Regards, Koustubh SInkar कौस्तुभ सिनकर
