I've been trying to cross compile a kernel for my Pi 1 on my 64bit Desktop, following this guide: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/linux/kernel/building.md

At this command (in the last section):

sudo make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-

I get this error:

make: arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc: Command not found

Searching online, a proposed solution is to install ia32-libs if you're compiling from a 64bit machine. However, this package no longer exists, and as I understand it was used as a work around for 32bit support, so today the proper solution is to simply directly install the corresponding 32bit package you need for what you're doing. My question then is, what is the package I need? If I'm completely off and there's a different explanation to this problem, then ignore me, that's just what I gathered from my research online.

For additional information, I've tried this on Debian and have now reproduced the same results on OpenSUSE.

  • ia32-libs isn't that intel though?

  • I'm not sure, honestly. I have an AMD processor if that changes anything?

  • still wont help :p - does your PATH include tools/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian-x64/bin

  • Yes, as I said I've been following the guide I linked which has a step to add that to your PATH.

  • the issue is that your command is incomplete - in that howto, triple click on the command, you'll see sudo make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf- INSTALL_MOD_PATH=mnt/ext4 modules_install is one line, and you've only entered sudo make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-
