To build binaries for the iPod you will need a special version
of the GNU toolchain, where the compiler is configured as a
cross compiler. This is used to generate binaries on your
development machine which are executable on another platform, in
this case the iPod. Since the iPod is an ARM based platform we need
an ARM cross compiler. Fortunately there are pre-built versions of
the cross compiler available for Linux, OS X, and Windows (via
Cygwin). If you need to customize the toolchain, you'll have to
build it yourself.
Installing a pre-built toolchain
There are two versions of the toolchain: 2.95 and 3.4.3. They
contain different versions of the compiler (gcc). While the kernel
needs to be built with 2.95, many other apps need to be built with
the newer version.
Note about installing both toolchains
These two toolchains can coexist on the same system, but
you may need to remove the compatibility symlinks from the newer
toolchain once you have installed it (Note: this applies only to
Linux systems - for Mac OS X see the note further down):
rm -f /usr/local/arm-uclinux-tools2/bin/arm-elf-*
If you do this, be sure you set the HOST appropriately for each
toolchain you want to use: arm-elf for 2.95, and arm-uclinux-elf for 3.4.3.
For the kernel (2.95 toolchain)
The arm-elf 2.95 toolchain
is not for applications. This toolchain has several
problems, namely:
C++ support is passable at best.
No i18n support.
Cannot handle constructs like anonymous structures.
The new version, arm-uclinux-elf 3.4.3, fixes all these issues
(and is much more modern). Unfortunately, the Linux 2.4 kernel
source doesn't quite agree with 3.4.3 so you need to apply
this patch(http://www.rit.edu/~rmh3093/ipod/kernel/2.4.32-ipod2/patches/iPL_2.4.32-ipod2_arm-uclinux-elf.patch)
to the kernel source before you compile the kernel for
the iPod.
If you are using a pre-compiled kernel (e.g. from a nightly
build), you can skip this section.
Linux on x86
Download:
Install the toolchain as root user:
sudo
./arm-elf-tools-20030314.sh
If you get the error message 'tail: cannot open `+43' for
reading: No such file or directory' when installing, change line 39
from:
tail +${SKIP} ${SCRIPT} | gunzip | tar
xvf -
to:
tail -n+${SKIP} ${SCRIPT} | gunzip |
tar xvf -
Mac OS X on PPC
(Note: works only on PowerPC Macs, not on Intel Macs)
Download and run the installer:
Note: If you should later install the 3.4.3 toolchain as well,
the "arm-elf"-files in /usr/local/bin will get replaced with the new
toolchain commans, meaning that you then cannot build the kernel
with the 2.95 toolchain any more. While the 2.95 installer also
creates its own private directory /usr/local/arm-elf/bin, it does miss out on
placing a few needed files into that dir (e.g. objcopy is missing there). So I suggest you
issue this command in Terminal after having used the above
installer in order to preserve all tools of the 2.95 toolchain
(this will then later allow you to refer to these copies to build
the kernel):
cp /usr/local/bin/arm-elf-*
/usr/local/arm-elf/bin
Cygwin on Windows on x86
Download the zip file:
It contains the entire folder hierarchy (/usr/local/...), so you need to extract this
to your Cygwin root directory, making sure you do not replace the
contents of existing directories but add the new files into them.
Be advised that some people have reported instability in this
toolchain.
Other Systems
You must build the toolchain from source. See below for
instructions.
For applications (3.4.3 toolchain)
For applications, you can use the more modern 3.4.3
arm-uclinux-elf toolchain; its advantages are above. If you are
running a Linux system on a x86 CPU, or OS X on PowerPC, then you
can just download the toolchain in binary form. The x86 toolchain
also works on AMD64 systems provided you have IA-32 compatibility
libraries installed; this is the default on most AMD64 Linux
distributions (on Gentoo, emerge emul-linux-x86-baselibs).
Note: you only need the first of the three files for a
standard installation. The others are for development purposes.
The files you need are:
For Cygwin on Windows on x86:
The toolchain is hardcoded to live in /usr/local/. You can
extract it there by executing all three files as root:
# sh ./arm-uclinux-elf-tools-base-gcc3.4.3-20050722.sh
# sh ./arm-uclinux-elf-tools-c++-gcc3.4.3-20050722.sh
# sh ./arm-uclinux-elf-tools-gdb-20050722.sh
If you get an error like the one above, 'tail: cannot open `+43'
for reading: No such file or directory', you need to change the
line from
tail +${SKIP} ${SCRIPT} | bunzip2 | tar xvf -
to
tail -n+${SKIP} ${SCRIPT} | bunzip2 | tar xvf -
Notice that the compression is bunzip2, not gunzip.
For the Cygwin one, you should do
# tar -C / -xvjf arm-uclinux-tools-cygwin-20060116.tar.bz2
(If you are getting file not found errors from the cygwain tar
then try appending another .tar to the end of above.) IE
# tar -C / -xvjf arm-uclinux-tools-cygwin-20060116.tar.bz2.tar
Building your own
This is not recommended. It is far too easy to
royally screw things up. Unless you have a really good
reason not to, please stick with the prebuilt
toolchains.
Also, these instructions are out of date - they're for
2.95.
Go to [1](http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=226054).
Go get the file build-uclinux-tools.sh(http://uclinux.org/pub/uClinux/arm-elf-tools/tools-20030314/build-uclinux-tools.sh)".
This is a shell script which will do the build for you later, but
it also contains notes about the prerequisites. Get all the files
you need. You also need to get and configure the uClinux sources -
see how to do that in Kernel Building. Follow
all steps until the 'make' step, instead, do only a 'make dep'.
You're done here.
When you have everything in place, edit build-uclinux-tools.sh
(the 'edit' section). Put in the correct name for the uClinux
source dir. If you want to install the toolchain in a different
directory (e.g. /opt/arm-elf), put in a line like
PREFIX=/opt/arm-elf
PATH="${PREFIX}/bin:$PATH"; export PATH
Now you can run build-uclinux-tools.sh.
If the script complains that it can't write to $PREFIX, create
$PREFIX manually.
mkdir /opt/arm-elf
If you get an error from patch saying some file is locked in
Perforce, you should set an environ var 'POSIXLY_CORRECT' to work
around that, or unset your P4PORT env.
export POSIXLY_CORRECT=1
OR
export P4PORT=
If you get an error from patch saying that it can't find the
file gcc-uclinux-elf.mak, add a line
touch STLport-4.5.3/src/gcc-uclinux-elf.mak
before
${PATCH} -p0 < STLport-4.5.3.patch
Setup your build environment
Normally your cross compiler will be installed in
/usr/local/arm-uclinux-tools2/bin so you need to include
that in your PATH. (The OS X version installs in
/usr/local/arm-uclinux-tools/bin, modify appropriately)
% export PATH=/usr/local/arm-uclinux-tools/bin:$PATH
The Cygwin toolchain installs in
/usr/local/arm-uclinux-elf-tools/bin instead, so your
PATH-supplementing line should be something like
% export PATH=/usr/local/arm-uclinux-elf-tools/bin:$PATH
Debian / Ubuntu issues
On Ubuntu Linux (and possibly other Debian-based systems),
attempting to run these tools under sudo (for example, in 'make
install' steps) will fail with 'command not found', even when the
above directory is in your path. This is because Debian's sudo
package is compiled with the --with-secure-path option, which
causes it to use a hard-coded path instead of your actual one.
The only known 'proper' fix is to recompile your own copy of
sudo. As a workaround, you can add symlinks to the arm-uclinux
tools to /usr/local/bin with this command:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/arm-uclinux-tools2/bin/arm-uclinux-elf-* /usr/local/bin/
