Build the Toolchain

Altera_Forum · ‎08-07-2010

Hello,

I'm trying to build the Toolchain. I followed the instructions on web page:

nioswiki->InstallNios2Linux

At step: setarch i386 make gcc elf2flt gdb-host I get the following error. I'm using Ubuntu with gcc version 4.2.4.


=nios2-linux-uclibc- 
                PREFIX= 
                DEVEL_PREFIX=/

                KERNEL_HEADERS=/data/share/uclinux/nios2-linux/toolchain-build/build/linux/include 
                all

make: Leaving directory `/data/share/uclinux/nios2-linux/uClibc'

Can some one help me with this problem?

Do you have a real _need_ for building the toolchain (there is a binary available) or are you just curious?

I didn't have much luck getting this to work on my 64-bit Ubuntu box a year or two ago, but the binary toolchain worked just fine to get the embedded stuff that I needed to do...done.

Cheers,

I'm just curious (to learn a thing or two). I will try to use the binary toolchain!

I hope some one can guide me in right direction to build me own Toolchain.

Altera_Forum · ‎08-12-2010

I have the same problem. Any ideas?

thanks,

Maiko.

I used the binary toolchain with suc6. I compile and run linux without mmu on my de2 board. At this moment I'm trying to get it running with mmu.

With building the toolchain myself, I had no suc6. I was out of ideas and started using the binary toolchain!

Altera_Forum · ‎08-13-2010

thanks, I'm using the binary toolchain too. But I was wondering if I could compile it.

I can compile a version without mmu: "nios2-linux-20080619", but not the latest sources.

I'll keep trying...

you can learn more from http://www.nioswiki.com/installnios2linux.

you should pay attention to step carefully.when you begin to learn nios2,you should do just as the steps from nioswiki.or you will encounter many different problem.

c-parser.c not found. Is it required to install gcc 4.2. I am on fedora and gcc 4.4.

using binary toolchain now.

Altera_Forum · ‎09-15-2010

Yes, I am using the latest source code, still facing the same error:

./include/bits/syscalls.h:10:23: asm/traps.h: No such file or directory

anyone?

gcc -v must be 4.2?

mine is 4.4.3

Altera_Forum · ‎09-15-2010

AFAI remember compiling the (cross-) C compiler needs some "approved" version of the C compiler on the host. Maybe same is 4.2. such a version (as a binary) should be available using a package install system.

Hi Michael,

I tried to apt-get install gcc-4.2

but my Ubuntu reported that it was obsolete. Can someone update Wiki? We look like a bunch of masochists here with outdated tools and manuals.

My NEEK comes with 8.0 version, and I just bought it last week.

Altera_Forum · ‎09-16-2010

At the moment rebuilding the Tool Chain is not a very interesting issue, as (AFAIK) it right now only can be done for the no-MMU version of the Tool Chain.

In the near future the dedicated no-MMU Tool chain will be integrated in a common MMU / no-MMU make tool and supposedly rebuilding same from the sources will be doable.

Supposedly this will be decently described in the Wiki.

I am also facing same error,

./include/bits/syscalls.h:10:23: asm/traps.h: No such file or directory

Is there any solution to get ride of this?

Cheers,
