Hi,

I am new to this list.

I use ubuntu 14.04.02. I am trying to configure/compile osmocom-bb.

I have a few questions and problems:

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 this a problem?

4) configure asks for libosmovty. Despite listed, couldn't find it under osmocom libraries any more:(
Where can i download it from?

TIA,

Nikos
