I'm compiling a custom gcc including the D language on android itself. I have C4Droid gcc binaries installed as well as Debian Wheezy on chroot with gcc/g++ 4.6. I was thinking I could change the host mode to arm-linux-androideabi in configure? Does the NDK build-gcc.sh script call the NDK toolchain to compile or the host systems gcc? Would this be enough to get the source to compile a android runnable binary? Thanks in advanced.

Hello,
I am trying to build the faux123 Atrix 4g CM_kernel from source and run it on my device. I have been able to load the pre-compiled zImage and ramdisk on my atrix without any problems, but when I try to load the zImage I compiled the system never boots. The screen stays locked on the fastboot message without ever advancing.
I am using the code sorcery toolchain and I compiled the kernel with the tegra_olympus_cyanogenmod_defconfig configuration and I grabbed the latest version of the CM_kernel branch from faux123's github repository.
Part of the difficulty is that the system never gets to a point where it can output information, so I have no idea how far it is making it in the boot sequence.
Any help debugging this is appreciated.
I got it to work. I changed to the android ndk toolchain (android-ndk-r6) for my cross compiler and it worked. Here is what I did:
$ make ARCH=arm tegra_olympus_cyanogenmod_defconfig
$ make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/home/kingst/NVPACK/android-ndk-r6/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin/arm-linux-androideabi- -j20
the -j20 tells the compiler to use 20 jobs (rule of thumb -- use #cpu*2 for this) and the CROSS_COMPILE parameter tells kbuild the prefix of my cross compiler.
I did have to change a few things to get it to work, I will submit a patch to the faux123 kernel for the change
Update: if you use the arm-2010.09 toochain from code sourcery then you can compile the faux123 CM_kernel without any modifications. This is the toolchain being used for official builds, so it is the best one to use.
as the title asks if how do i compile the GCC 4.6.3 package into a working toolchain source??any guide or reference would be a great help..
am on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS..and i have downloaded the package already..
C#Shell is a C# compiler that lets you dynamically compile and execute C# code on your Android device.
I'm building android from source using this xda university tutorial: http://xda-university.com/as-a-developer/getting-started-building-a-kernel-from-source. During the build process, I've encountered this obstacle in setting up the toolchain.
The instructions:
Add the path for your toolchain to the env variable by editing .bashrc, adding this line:
Code:
PATH=$PATH:~/android/ndk/android-ndk-r7-linux-x86/toolchains/arm-linux-androideabi-4.4.3/prebuilt/linux-x86/bin
I'm using Android NDK r10e, and couldn't locate this directory. How do I find the path to my toolchain?
Hello,
I am trying to build Android 4.3 for an ARM-based Computer on Module after upgrading my Ubuntu installation from 14.04 to 16.04. I was able to do this seamlessly on 14.04, but now it seems I am running into some problems. My logs indicate that GCC is throwing errors, so I'm thinking the problem is some discrepancy between GCC 4.x used in Ubuntu 14 and GCC 5.x used in Ubuntu 16. I would like to install GCC 4.x alongside GCC 5 on Ubuntu 16, but I'm not sure how to do that exactly.
Does anyone have any recommendations on getting 4.3 to build on Ubuntu 16.04, or at least installing an older version of GCC alongside GCC 5.x?
Here is the gist of my log file, seeing as how I don't know how to attach files:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
