Build the Toolchain

Hello,

I'm trying to build the Toolchain. I followed the instructions on web page:

nioswiki->InstallNios2Linux

At step: setarch i386 make gcc elf2flt gdb-host I get the following error. I'm using Ubuntu with gcc version 4.2.4. 


=nios2-linux-uclibc- 
                PREFIX= 
                DEVEL_PREFIX=/ 
                RUNTIME_PREFIX=/ 
                KERNEL_HEADERS=/data/share/uclinux/nios2-linux/toolchain-build/build/linux/include 
                all
make: Entering directory `/data/share/uclinux/nios2-linux/uClibc'
make: `conf' is up to date.

make: ***  Error 1
make: Leaving directory `/data/share/uclinux/nios2-linux/uClibc'

Can some one help me with this problem?

    Do you have a real _need_ for building the toolchain (there is a binary available) or are you just curious?

    I didn't have much luck getting this to work on my 64-bit Ubuntu box a year or two ago, but the binary toolchain worked just fine to get the embedded stuff that I needed to do...done.

    Cheers,

    I'm just curious (to learn a thing or two). I will try to use the binary toolchain!

    I hope some one can guide me in right direction to build me own Toolchain.

    I used the binary toolchain with suc6. I compile and run linux without mmu on my de2 board. At this moment I'm trying to get it running with mmu.

    With building the toolchain myself, I had no suc6. I was out of ideas and started using the binary toolchain!

    thanks, I'm using the binary toolchain too. But I was wondering if I could compile it.

    I can compile a version without mmu: "nios2-linux-20080619", but not the latest sources.

    I'll keep trying...

    c-parser.c not found. Is it required to install gcc 4.2. I am on fedora and gcc 4.4.

    using binary toolchain now.

    Yes, I am using the latest source code, still facing the same error:

    ./include/bits/syscalls.h:10:23: asm/traps.h: No such file or directory

    anyone?

    gcc -v must be 4.2?

    mine is 4.4.3

    AFAI remember compiling the (cross-) C compiler needs some "approved" version of the C compiler on the host. Maybe same is 4.2. such a version (as a binary) should be available using a package install system.

    Hi Michael,

    I tried to apt-get install gcc-4.2

    but my Ubuntu reported that it was obsolete. Can someone update Wiki? We look like a bunch of masochists here with outdated tools and manuals.

    My NEEK comes with 8.0 version, and I just bought it last week.
