Did anyone already include the Gnu Scientific Library (GSL) into the SoC EDS (19.1) environment?

Hi, thanks for the reply.

To answer your last question first: No, I did not do any cross compilation before in this respect. I've a hardware background (vhdl/xlinx/microsemi) and this is my first attempt to support a colleague which needs GSL in de SoC EDS environment with Cyclone V under Linux.

My goal is to be able to include the GSL-2.6 library within the SoC EDS (DS5). So I opened a SoC EDS command shell, retrieved the GSL 2.6, and unpacked the GSL package. Next step was:

$ ./configure --host=arm-linux-gnueabihf --prefix=/home/<myname>/gsl --target=arm-linux-gnueabihf (I hope this is correct, I'm not sure about the options here, should I add any other flags ???)

$ make clean (between each attempt)

$ make => resulted in errors (see below):

Hope that you can give me a hint or info how to have the correct options for ./configure ..... (and should the following make use the default GCC compiler on the laptop where I build it, or should it be the arm-linux-gcc used to make the ARM binary)?

$ uname

CYGWIN_NT-10.0

Kind regards
