osmocom-bb installation help

Hi, I am new to this list. I use ubuntu 14.04.02. I am trying to configure/compile latest master osmocom-bb. I ran into a few problems/questions: According to the src/README.building file, I should get the arm toolchain from gnuarm.com This should be updated, gnuarm.com doesn't have any downloads any more. Instead I installed gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi from ubuntu reps 1) normal gcc seems to support x-compiling for arm CPUs. Why not use that? 2) Your stock Makefile tests for CROSS_HOST against arm-elf-gcc. This should be updated to test also against arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc from gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi package 3) configure warnings: configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --disable-tests, --disable-tests. Should be disabled if not supported any more checking for arm-linux-gnueabi-mt... no checking for mt... mt configure: WARNING: using cross tools not prefixed with host triplet Is there a problem to use the OS mt? 4) configure asks for libosmovty >= 0.10.0. libosmovty is part of libosmocore. Latest libosmocore master provides libosmovty 0.9.0.16-abc4:( These 2 should really be synchronized. Where can I find suitable libosmocore to work with latest osmocom-bb, or latest osmocom-bb that works with latest libsomocore? TIA, Nikos
