BINUTILS

Ok so we have all the code we need to get started. We begin with binutils which is by far
the easiest thing to build:

Let's unpack it I just use somthing like:
ralphie:/video/new_or32# bunzip2 binutils-2.16.1.tar.bz2
then:
ralphie:/video/new_or32# tar -xvf binutils-2.16.1.tar
now patch it:
ralphie:/video/new_or32# cd binutils-2.16.1
ralphie:/video/new_or32# bzip2 -dc ../binutils-2.16.1-unified.diff.bz2 |patch -p1

Now we need to configure and build it, but before we do let's do this:
ralphie:/video/new_or32# cd ..
ralphie:/video/new_or32# mkdir b-b (GCC and Binutils build from OUTSIDE of their native directories)
ralphie:/video/new_or32# mkdir tools
now:
ralphie:/video/new_or32# cd b-b

Time to configure:
../binutils-2.16.1/configure --target=or32-uclinux --prefix=/video/new_or32/tools/or32-uclinux

Now build it:

ralphie:/video/new_or32/b-b# make all install
Once done you should be able to do: ralphie:/video/new_or32# ls tools/or32-uclinux/bin
and see some nice shiny new binary utilities for the Openrisc architecture.

Don't forget to let the system know about your new utils!!:
export PATH=/video/new_or32/tools/or32-uclinux/bin:$PATH

More pain for you? Yes? Next No?Previous
