Issue with GCC when building Angstrom for my mini6410

[JustinF]

Hi Guys,

I'm about to get crazy!!!
Im trying to build Angstrom for my mini6410. the tutorial from the Angstrom Site explains how to do that.

I still get the following errors:

 checking for gcc... gcc
| checking how to run the C preprocessor... arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc -E --sysroot=/tmp/setup-scripts/build/tmp-angstrom_2008_1/sysroots/armv6-angstrom-linux-gnueabi
| configure: error: C preprocessor "arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc -E --sysroot=/tmp/setup-scripts/build/tmp-angstrom_2008_1/sysroots/armv6-angstrom-linux-gnueabi" fails sanity check
| See `config.log' for more details.

ERROR: '/tmp/setup-scripts/sources/openembedded/recipes/glibc/glibc_2.9.bb' failed

I'm running out of ideas!!

I definitely need some help.

Thanks in advance

Hi JustinF,
Based on the snippet of the logs you posted, something is wrong with your cross compiler "arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc". The good news is my best guess is that its not in your path with is easy to fix. Can you make sure arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc is located in a directory in $PATH? If not, add it in and try again.

I gave up trying to build it myself and just built it online on the Angstrom website. Thanks for the reply
