TI Android GingerBread 2.3.4 DevKit2.1 Developers Guide Issue
I followed the instructions on TI's DevKit 2.1 Developers Guide and using 32-bit Ubuntu V10.04 I was able to compile all but the Android kernel. To build the kernel it said that it required 64-bit Linux. I talked to TI and they forwarded me to http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html for the requirements on initializing a build environment.
There they recommend using 64-bit Ubuntu V10.04. So I set up a 64-bit Ubuntu V10.04 machine and installed the GingerBread 2.3.4 repository from TI. Now I can't get anything to compile. When I try to run the compiler, I get the error "arm-eabi-gcc: command not found" even when I am in the folder containing the arm-eabi-gcc binary file. My path includes the location of the arm-eabi-gcc binary.
Does anyone know if the tools supplied in the GingerBread 2.3.4 repository from TI are compatible with 64bit Ubuntu?
I don't have a build log because the compiler does not run on my 64-bit machine. Thr error I get is "make: arm-eabi-gcc: command not found". I have updated my path to point to the compiler, but even if I try to launch arm-eabi.gcc from the folder that contains the arm-eabi-gcc executable I still get the error "arm-eabi-gcc: command not found".
The instructions that you suggest work fine on 32-bit Ubuntu except that the Android kernel will not compile because it says that it requires a 64-bit OS. The x-loader and u-boot compile fine on the 32-bit OS. That's why I switched to 64-bit Ubuntu. Is there a separate set of instructions for 64-bit machines?
Following the instructions in the GingerBread2.3.4DevKit2.1 developers guide fro using the pre-packaged repo places the tools in "<PATH_TO_ROWBOAT>/rowboat-android/TI_Android_GingerBread_2_3_4Sources/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin. Which I have included in my path. This is not the same as the path that the instructions say to use: "<PATH_TO_ROWBOAT>/rowboat-android/prebuilt/linux-x86/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.3/bin". I did'n use this path because after following the instructions for installing the pre-packaged repo, this path does not exist.
I also get the same error when I try to launch the compiler from the folder that contains the compiler binary.
I suspect that some ubuntu dependencies may not be satisfied. Do make sure you have all the x86 compatibility libraries recommended by google are installed.
The arm-eabi- toolchain is for x86 and probably may not run directly on x86_64
