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...

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 : ---- 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 zaki@zaki-desktop:~/gnuarm-4.0.2/bin$ uname -a Linux zaki-desktop 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:57:59 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux ---- 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, Sylvain

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 ;-)
