uclinux toolchain installation ( cross compiler setting error)

Hi,

I have just installed altera 9.1sp2 quartusII,nios2eds, nios2-linux-20090929.tar on centOS_5 from InstallNios2Linux tutorial.

1-hen i try to build the binary toolchain (the laptop is i64 architecture but the linux centOS installed is 32 architecture)

$~/nios2-linux/toolchain-build/make gcc elf2flt gdb-host

the message error is

lipthred/linuxthreads.old/wrapsyscall.c:101:error rededfinition of 'msync' ./include/sys/mman.h:97:error: previous definition of 'msync' was here

make[1]: ***[libthread/linuxthreads.old/wrapsyscall.o] Error 1

2-then i have installed the prebuild binary tool chain nios2gcc-20080203.tar.bz2 in /opt/nios2/

the cross compiler nios2-linux-uclibc-gcc is in /opt/nios2/bin

i can compile the hello.c example

also i can do the tryOutuClinux example on 2C35 DE2 kit: configure the fpga with *.sof and run the zimage kernel

3-The problem is when i try continue with the uclinuxDist tutorial:

I DONT INSTALL tar -C your_path -xvf nios2-linux-20090730.tar because 20090929 version its installed

i do make menuconfig correctly

but when i run $../uClinux-dist/ make vendor_hwselect SYSPTF=~/nios2-projects/tryOutuClinux/DE2_NIOS_HOST_MOUSE_VGA.ptf

there is an error with the cross compiler selected --->

[candido@localhost uClinux-dist]$ make vendor_hwselect SYSPTF=~/nios2-projects/tryOutuClinux/DE2_NIOS_HOST_MOUSE_VGA.ptf >> error.txt

make[1]: nios2-linux-gnu-gcc: No se encontró el programa

i have tried $make vendor_hwselect SYSPTF=~/nios2-projects/tryOutuClinux CROSS_COMPILE=nios2-linux-uclibc-

but the result dont change

4-¿ How can I configure the cross_compile default?

THANKS IN ADVANCE

    Hi,

    I was working with trunk branch and the nios2install is for test-nios2 branch, so i have read something about git tool

    0: internet connected

    1: switch to nios2-test

    at git repo ../uClinux-dist/

    $git branch -l

    test-nios2

    * trunk

    $git checkout test-nios2

    $git branch -l

    * test-nios2

    trunk

    2 : update

    run ../nios2-linux/update

    3: uClinux-dist/make menuconfig

    ERROR: there is not any rule for target config.arch building

    and i can see tha there is a link file named config.arch linked to vendors/Altera/nios2nommu/config.arch

    ¿?

    THANKS IN ADVANCE

    Hi,

    i can see that there is not a /vendors/Altera/nios2nommu/conf.arch file ........

    why ? is wrong the link?

    Now, i am confused about nios2-linux versions

    which i need 20090929 or 20090730?

    wget http://www.niosftp.com/pub/linux/nios2-linux-20090929.tar

    wget http://www.niosftp.com/pub/uclinux/nios2-linux-20090730.tar

    the wiki mixed the 2 versions

    I am going to remove the new version and install the old version 20090730

    Some aclaration please?

    THANKS IN ADVANCE

    Hi Nguyen Tien,

    In reply# 2 you must select test-nios2 branch with the command: $git checkout test-nios2

    after, you can test your branch -> $ git -l branch

    bye

    Thanks a lot.

    I was also able to make nios2-linux-20100621.tar to work using these instructions. I have verified it on NEEK. I will confirm stratixIV_4sgx230 when done.
