Beginning

Can you provide more details? What is the package, for which processor, etc.

I am using beaglebone black.

Trying to do this;

Setting Up The Tool Chain

Windows/Cygwin Linaro arm-none-eabi (command line): 
1. If a Windows host is used, then Cygwin needs to be installed for gcc build. 
2. Application makefiles invoke library makefiles internally. 
3. PATH environment variable should contain the path of the compiler/tool chain. 
4. LIB_PATH DOS shell environment variable points to the Linaro installation: Ex: LIB_PATH=C:\tools\Linaro. 
5. "set CYGPATH=cygpath" to convert Windows native style filenames to POSIX style file names. Not doing this might lead to linker errors while trying to find libc path. 
6. Ensure that the Linaro installation path does not contain any white space 

this is the output;

Thank You

I'm moving this to the StarterWare forum.

Best regards,

Hi Ray,

You are facing the issues because the make file is not able to locate the toolchain files. Please set the environment variables PATH and LIB_PATH to point correctly to toolchain installations.

The link below gives an example path variable settings, set your PATH variables suitably according to the location where the toolchain is installed.
