I am trying to follow this tutorial

http://www.bootc.net/archives/2012/05/26/how-to-build-a-cross-compiler-for-your-raspberry-pi/

There are no known issues that relate to this 404 not found error

Fails on step 15 -> Run ct-ng build.

I get this error, I even tried different versions (The same as the tutorial and the latest)

Looks like launchpad.net changed their download URL, the correct URL is:

https://launchpad.net/gcc-linaro/4.7/4.7-2012.07/+download/gcc-linaro-4.7-2012.07.tar.bz2

You should edit /usr/local/ct-ng.1.16.0/scripts/build/cc/gcc.sh on lines 26 to read: CT_GetFile "" \

and on line 30 to read: "${linaro_base_url}/${linaro_series}/${linaro_version}/+download/gcc-linaro-${linaro_version}.tar.bz2"

This is a quick hack and should be reported to the devs of crosstool-ng for a proper fix.

  • The error -> 'gcc-linaro-4.7-2012.07' not found in'/media/space/home/peter/src/raspberrypi/stagedir/.bu ild/tarballs' I have used binaries from CodeSourcery succesfully - thanks for your help though @Jake Nov 1, 2012 at 8:55

I faced the same problem. Instead of changing the script and hoping for the best I just ran ct-ng menuconfig again, chose a different non-linaro compiler and tried running ct-ng build. Then all tools were downloaded successfully. Now I am waiting for the build to finish.

EDIT: Build successful and the result compiles my C code for ARM. Haven't tested on Pi yet.

    The simple stuff worked for me on Pi but as soon as I tried to include libraries (like opencv) it failed Dec 3, 2012 at 8:05
  • So far I have only used the standard library and BCM2835 library to use the GPIOs. It works, but I had some issues getting the library built for the correct architecture.
