Hello,

I am a little new to ubuntu and am trying to build osmocom-bb but i am facing some problems in doing so. I found your emial address in the .c files present in the Osmocom-bb folder. I have downloaded the GNU toolchain for ARM which is the first step in building Osmocom. But I am not able to understand the second step in which I have to set a path to include the arm-elf-* executables of the toolchain. Would you please help me on this?

Awaiting your response,

Zaki.

I used an existing gnuarm toolchain that I had compiled long time ago, but I think this step may be unnecessary for for most users. When I tried repeating this step on another PC - Ubuntu threw up a a series of dependency errors between G++ and binutils, and I just didn't bother with recompiling the gnuarm chain again. I could probably have copied it from one machine to the other, but the simplest route was simply copying the layer1 bin file across.

I have put my build here: http://traxme.net/a5/layer1.ramload.bin

Then all you have to do is make osmocon make layer23

And you have the executables you need to get started.

Try in a terminal window (Applications/Accessory/Terminal):

export PATH=path_to_the_arm_elf_bin:$PATH

with path_to_the_arm_elf_bin is the path to the arm-elf-* executables downloaded previously, e.g.

export PATH=/mnt/tools/gcc-arm/selfmade/bin:$PATH

Call "make" afterwards in this terminal window. The set PATH is restricted to the terminal window.
