Title: Using Code::Blocks to compile for ARM9 (PandaBoard)
Post by: dragondgold on February 19, 2012, 08:20:52 pm

Hello ! I am new here, I am from Argentina, my name is Andrés. I recently bought a PandaBoard and i have Ubuntu running on it. I would like to start developing my own aplications on my Windows computer. I havent found anything to install ARM Compiler on Windows, I also was investigating and read something about "cross-compiler" for wxWidgets can anyone explain me that ?
I would like some information, help, to compile and debug ARM programs on Windows any information is very usefull to me :)

Thanks you and sorry my bad English :)

You should consult an ARM forum for this. This forum is only for CodeBlocks related matters. Try googling "yagarto" or "code sourcery".

Read this link http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_a_supported_compiler#Compiler-neutral_setup_steps (http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_a_supported_compiler#Compiler-neutral_setup_steps)
If you do NOT know how to configure the CB Compiler toolchain ask a good question about what you do NOT understand.
STATE: The name and version of the Compiler and the folder it was installed into.
STATE: The Code::Blocks version.

And, turn on Full Compiler Logging after you get your Compiler Configuration setup up right inside of Code::Blocks.

Ok sorry, you are right, I apologise.
I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and my Code::Blocks version is 10.05. I would like to know how I can install an ARM Toolchain to work whit Code::Blocks on Ubuntu. Can I install any toolchain like this:

http://www.oliverbehr.de/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=50:building-a-gnu-arm-toolchain&catid=39&Itemid=73

And then set it up to work whit Code::Blocks ?

Thanks you very much :)

CodeBlocks already supports GNU ARM toolchain, it should work if u just point to the right executables in the compiler config of CB.

Ubuntu is a good distributive, but with some non-standart solutions. Probably your gcc-arm installed to another path than C::B looking for.
Lokate your complier executables end set property path in C::B Main-menu>settings>"Compiler and debugger">"ToolChain Executables"[Tab]>"Compiler's installation dirrectory", and check if executable names is correct in fields below.
