Hello,

I never thought I would become such a popular figure on your mailing lists, be it for the wrong reasons. I am sorry to have emailed you that question, but honestly I am new to Ubuntu. I have done quite a lot of programming on Windows, but this seems to be quite a different world, and that is why I email you even my seemingly childish questions for you to you, as I am sure you wont have any trouble solving them although it does takes some seconds of yours.

Regards,
Zaki.

Looking at gnuarm.com, it looks like you have a x86_64 toolchain and
try to run it on i686.
Honestly I don't want to be mean but if you can't see what's wrong
with that, osmocom-bb might not be for you quite just yet.

Hello,

Thank you for your reply. I am really sorry I did not get your point in the mail where you asked me to perform the different checks. Though I have written those commands and have pasted their output below.


zaki@zaki-desktop:~/gnuarm-4.0.2/bin$ file ./arm-elf-gcc
./arm-elf-gcc: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.4.1, stripped

Awaiting your response,

Zaki.

Maybe he's good in programming embedded stuff, this has purely to do with Linux specific builds and nothing to do with coding/decoding gsm stuff.
By the way, he can always learn...

Thank you very much.

I have succeded to compile. I will try to deploy on C118.

Silvain,

Yes I agree with you, but I just want to note that we have to encourage beginners to keep trying and learning.
Especially when one comes from the Windows world like me, where everything builds magically in Visual Studio (debugging is a joy in there ;-)
Never programmed in Linux, never used git, gdb, vim, etc... and now, I begin to rock a little bit, thnx to OpenBSC and you guys  ;-)

I never meant otherwise in my previous message. But basic knowledge /
problem solving of the build system is a requirement IMHO, especially
in this project (that includes both host and target code with even
some shared code between the two).

I also looked up his history on the various mailing lists before
posting this and this is not the first build problem with GSM related
projects so I would expect him to learn from previous experience.


Also, when I see a message with :

And he still asks what's wrong ? An embedded programmer that doesn't
know he can't just run binaries from one architecture onto another
architecture ...

I know, that's why there is a "quite just yet" at the end. That's
exactly what I implied: that he learns that first and then come back.


Cheers,

Hi Nordin,

I wouldn't have the skills I have now if it wouldn't be due to others
help. And of course I know file and uname and it is new to others. The
biggest problem I have is judging is someone is just lazy, or if there
is someone who is slow to start but eager to learn.

how would you figure that out?

z.

PS: Would you be willing to help me to go through the documentation and
provide some more getting started information? At least two have
downloaded a wrong toolchain, I am pretty sure this will happen again.
