gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi command not found

Question

I am trying to install the gnu arm toolchain for ubuntu. I first downloaded the tar from CodeSourcery. However when I go into the bin folder, I cannot run any of the binarie

Answer 1

You have installed a toolchain which was compiled for i686 on a box which is running an x86_64 userland.

Use an i686 VM.

Answer 2

I had to cross compile C code in Ubuntu for ARM. This worked for me:

$ sudo apt install gcc-arm-none-eabi

Later, tested it on the qemu emulator

#Install qemu
sudo apt-get install qemu qemu-user-static qemu-system-arm

#Cross compile "helloworld.c"
$ arm-none-eabi-gcc --specs=rdimon.specs   -Wl,--start-group -lgcc -lc -lm -lrdimon -Wl,--end-group helloworld.c -o helloworld

#Run
qemu-arm-static helloworld

Answer 3

fixed, using:

sudo apt-get install gcc-arm*

Answer 4

I was also facing the same issue and resolved it after installing the following dependency:

sudo apt-get install lib32z1-dev

Answer 5

Its a bit counter-intuitive. The toolchain is called gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi. To invoke the tools execute the following: arm-linux-gnueabi-xxx

where xxx is gcc or ar or ld, etc
