Re: [Gumstix-users] How to install arm-linux-gcc

[sravani <sra...@gm...>]

Thank you Hypo for your reply,

executable file means final binary file...it didnt work means its gave me an
error like 

sh:command not found

I checked the path and everything but dindt work..yeah i used file command
too...its giving me as 32 bit ARM ELF like that..but its not working...yeah
version is important but my gumstix board giving me its version as R318M i
didnt understand it properly..so i tried for 318 version but while doing bit
bake i am getting an error like file didnt find in the particular path so i
tried to place that file manually in the particular path by downloading it,
but i could not find that file. So finally i did for latest version and
placed the binary file.

And sorry for asking this question...Is build and OE are different? I didnot
understand that thing....All i did was in my UBUNTU machine 9.04 i built an
environment using the 1st link later i tried to install arm-linux-gcc...

If i did anything worng please let me know or else can you gguys give me the
correct steps to follow 

Thank you,
Sravani.
