I am not familiar with that error. I would recommend starting over (except for building the gcc toolchain; that part is probably alright) and making sure to follow the directions on the wiki carefully. Cheers, Rusty D On Mon, Apr 14, 2014 at 11:02 AM, Ahmad Jan <e10007a@gmail.com> wrote:

As m using bash, export PATH=$PATH:/home/arslan/dir/install/bin seems to resolved this issue of arm-elf-gcc. M really grateful for your help.

After that, when i went on making the source, a new sort of error has been arrived. It seems to be quite a big problem as compare to last one. It look like this:

Any idea, anyone?

To the best of my knowledge from when I first was trying to build osmocom-bb, the error you are receiving is a result of gcc for Intel x86/x86_64 trying to compile ARM code. There is no 'eor' instruction for x86, which is why you get that error.

When you built the toolchain, you built a copy of gcc that compiles to the ARM architecture. On your system, this compiler should be located at /home/arslan/dir/install/bin/arm-elf-gcc. The message about assuming arm-elf-gcc is inside the current path means your PATH environment variable, not your current working directory. So, if you add /home/arslan/dir/install/bin to your path environment variable, the osmocom-bb build scripts will be able to find arm-elf-gcc there, and you should not receive that error.

If you are using bash as your shell, you can accomplish this by issuing the command:

export PATH=$PATH:/home/arslan/dir/install/bin

Hi... I m trying to install osmocom-bb using following link:

http://bb.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/Software/GettingStarted

First of all i installed the Dependencies for the host.

Then for target dependencies, i build my own toolchain using following:

http://bb.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/GnuArmToolchain

This toolchain building processes ended up saying: "Build complete! Add /home/arslan/dir/install/bin to your PATH to make arm-elf-gcc and friends accessible directly." (i don't know building my own toolchain is necessary or not).

Then i went back for building osmocom-bb

There i came across getting and updating the source.

But in building the source section, what it says is: " Compiling both the target and the host code will happen with the following command. It assumes that the arm-elf-gcc is inside the current path."

I didn't understand it as my current path is osmocom-bb and there is no arm-elf-gcc Can anyone tell me what does it mean?

Anyways, i just ignored it and went on executing the following command

cd src/ make

So i ended up with an error saying: /home/arslan/osmocom-bb/src/target/firmware/include/asm/swab.h:32: Error: no such instruction: `eor %edx,%r15d,%r15d,ror' make[4]: *** [gsmtap_util.lo] Error 1

I tried to figure it out from Internet. It really didn't work out. M stuck at this point. Can anyone help me resolving this problem?
