Yet from both of the respective directories running:



gives me the correct result.


I am running this on a 64bit machine with Ubuntu 14.04LS and installed build-essential and automake.

Any suggestions?

Hi it is probably because you didn't install the cross compiler correctly :
Please check this link:
http://wiki.friendlyarm.com/wiki/index. ... s_Compiler

I believe I have done everything in that section correctly.

When I do a printenv the correct toolchain path is displayed.

Hi Dave could you check whether or not your PC host's OS is ubuntu 14.04 64 bit? Our toolchain only works under a 64bit OS

Yes, it is a 64bit machine running 14.04LTS

Hi Dave, we tried your way and failed too.
We did "sudo arm-linux-gcc -v" and got "sudo: arm-linux-gcc: command not found"

We haven't found out the root cause. What we usually do is to login the system and open a gnome-termnial and swtich to root and then begin to do all the stuff.

Or you can try

sudo bash -c "PATH=/opt/FriendlyARM/toolchain/4.9.3/bin:$PATH; arm-linux-gcc -v"

Or just compile the uboot without using "su" this should work too.

Thanks for the suggestions. I missed this reply.

Found that by installing most of the tools mentioned in this post on the old forum http://www.friendlyarm.net/forum/topic/6519 that things started to work properly.

I am just guessing that it was <fakechroot>.
