Hi,
i'm an android app developer. I have an HTC Desire and I would test kernel issue for root my device.
For check kernel or software issue, I compile on my linuxbox (on Intel) and binary file run in the same arch that compile it.
In an arm device like my android phone, how can I compile c source file?
We will say: "With an arm croos toolchain!"...
I have read http://www.hermann-uwe.de/blog/buil...-with-binutils-gcc-newlib-and-gdb-from-source that explain how to build the toolchain, but binary compiler that this steps create not compile a simple "Hello World" program:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
printf("Hello, World!");
return 0;
}
because not have stdio.h header... O_O
So I have downloaded the GNU ARM toolchain binary for linux, but the compiler don't work because I can't run it on my linuxbox...
Why?
mmm... So I have copied the "include" directory from GNU Arm ToolChain to toolchain compiled from source (how explaine the link above).
now stdio.h is present but...
Code:
/tmp/ccfmzOMU.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccfmzOMU.s:11: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `@'
/tmp/ccfmzOMU.s:12: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `@'

/tmp/ccfmzOMU.s:19: Error: too many memory references for `mov'
/tmp/ccfmzOMU.s:20: Error: no such instruction: `ldmfd sp,{fp,sp,pc}'
How can i build binary elf file for my Desire architecture?
Thanks in andvance!
I am unable to link to any resources here due to them being behind a corporate firewall, but this link I found might help:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-arm-toolchain/index.html
Here is a link to the tools:

Let me know if this is not what you are looking for.
Yes, this is what I need.
Thanks!
Now I've tried to compile my hello world in C for ARM, but the binary not run on my desire... I think that I have compiled with a mistake mcpu parameter.
The result is that if I copy helloworld binary in /data/local path in my Desire, set execution permission and execute the program:
Code:
$ ./helloworld
./helloworld
./helloworld: not found
the output of 'ls -l' command show that helloworld file exist and have 'x' permission...
So I think that is an incompatibily issue of the binary file...
Which one "-mcpu" value is correct for the Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8250 inside HTC Desire?
I've tried any arm7* but it's the same... "not found".
Any ideas?
@azatoth
I get the same on my hero. Tried to run it on a other arm device (Linksys NSLU2) the same "not found" appears

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Do you have found a solution for that?
I have no real way to test this, but the Snapdragon is a Cortex-A8 I believe... Try the following:
Code:
-mcpu=cortex-a8 -mfpu=neon
I hope this works, let me know if the behavior changes...

don't work yet... the response is always the same: not found...
you are linking to the wrong libc, you have to link to bionic... Are you using the full android build compiler?
After searching around , it seems there are several ways to compile Busybox.
Codesourcery toolchain direct compile method
http://mobisocial.stanford.edu/news/2011/02/compile-busybox-on-android-os/
http://omappedia.org/wiki/Android_Installing_Busybox_Command_Line_Tools
Running make gives:
gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1': execvp: No such file or directory
What exact folder belongs in the path?
What exact statement belongs for the cross compiler prefix in make menuconfig?
Source integration method
https://github.com/Gnurou/busybox-android
This method wants you to include the files with the android source and rebuild.
Is there a way to instead compile this directly?
Scripted NDK compile method
http://matrixrewriter.com/wiki/tiki-index.php?page=Building+BusyBox+binaries+for+Android
This method goes well until near the end of the script when the script returns:
/usr/include/string.h.274: error: expected ')' before '!=' token
I am completely lost after searching for this error.
Which of these three methods, if any, is best? Is there another easier way?

Is the Openmoko toolchain the best one to use for this? If so, which file from the link would I need for 64 bit Debian Squeeze?
http://downloads.openmoko.org/developer/toolchains/
ndk-build needs an Android.mk file so that is not going to work easily.
agcc only does .c files and not complicated projects with a makefile so that is not going to work easily. If it does please correct me.
this command:
CC=arm-linux-gcc./configure --host=arm-linux --with-pcap=linux
or this command:
CC=arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc ./configure --host=arm-linux --with-pcap=linux
gives:
"error: C compiler cannot create executables".
So if I remove CC entirely:
./configure --host=arm-linux --with-pcap=linux
make
These lines will build and make libpcap ok and configure tcpdump ok. But when making tcpdump it fails with "error: ppi.h: No such file or directory".
Thanks for any help.
Hi!
I am trying to compile Dorimanx-JB-Mali-7.5 kernel with several specific kernel config options.
At first, I could compile the original Dorimanx-JB-Mali-7.5 kernel.
But after activating several kernel config options, I met an error on Mali driver.
Here are what I want to activate.
CONFIG_PROFILING
CONFIG_FTRACE
CONFIG_ENABLE_DEFAULT_TRACERS
CONFIG_DEBUG_MUTEXES
CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL
CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS
And I met the error.
======================================================================================
arch/arm/kernel/built-in.o:io.c:function perf_callchain_kernel: error: undefined reference to 'walk_stackframe'
kernel/built-in.o:hw_breakpoint.c:function profile_tick: error: undefined reference to 'profile_pc'
======================================================================================
Is there anybody who can resolve this problem?
Help!
I hope to know the solution soon.

Hi!
I'm trying to compile my first cyanogen rom for my Galaxy 3 (i5800). I downloaded the Android source from androidarmv6 and the device folder from marcellusbe's repo and i edited it to include samsung fimg drivers (original device folders has openfimg which IMHO is still not good for daily usage because of lag, very limited opengles support etc...) and the device configuration and filesystem table to support MTD converted phones. At first compiling went pretty good i just got some: "Thumb does not support this addressing mode *" that i fixed by adding
Code:
LOCAL_CFLAGS += -marm
to involved Android.mk however after resolving those errors it started compiling host libraries and it started giving TONS of no such file or directory errors, but compilation didn't stop so i didn't touch anything, then this error appeared and i can't find any patch/solution/workaround:
Code:
target thumb C: libhardware_legacy <= hardware/libhardware_legacy/wifi/wifi.c
hardware/libhardware_legacy/wifi/wifi.c: In function 'update_ctrl_interface':
hardware/libhardware_legacy/wifi/wifi.c:473:5: warning: suggest parentheses around assignment used as truth value [-Wparentheses]

make: *** [/home/francesco/cm10_port/cm_armv6/out/target/product/apollo/obj/SHARED_LIBRARIES/libhardware_legacy_intermediates/wifi/wifi.o] Error 1
I also downloaded the latest wifi.c from cyanogen github but nothing.
Someone knows how to resolve this?
Thanks in advance!
