Getting Started Guide Building user programs Installing the GNU tools

Installing the GNU tools

To build programs to run on the target Linux system, some of either the cross or the native development tools must be installed. At the moment, the native development tools are only available in the ST40 Linux distribution; they are not yet included in the ST231 Linux distribution. Both distributions do provide a set of cross development tools to be run on the x86 Linux host.

The tools are provided as a set of RPMs which can be installed by following the standard procedure for the installation of any of the RPMs of the STLinux distribution (see the Installaton Guide for details).

ST40 cross development tools

To cross build a simple C program for the ST40 Linux environment the following RPM packages are needed:

stlinux20-cross-sh4-gcc
stlinux20-cross-sh4-cpp
stlinux20-cross-sh4-binutils
stlinux20-cross-sh4-libgcc 
stlinux20-sh4-glibc-dev

For a more complete cross development environment, additional packages must be installed. For C++ support:

stlinux20-cross-sh4-g++
stlinux20-sh4-libstdc++-dev

For debug support:

stlinux20-cross-sh4-gdb
stlinux20-cross-sh4-kgdb

ST40 native development tools

To build a C program for the ST40 Linux environment natively, the following packages are needed:

stlinux20-sh4-gcc
stlinux20-sh4-cpp
stlinux20-sh4-binutils
stlinux20-cross-sh4-libgcc
stlinux20-sh4-glibc-dev
stlinux20-sh4-gdb

Note: For technical reasons the stlinux20-cross-sh4-libgcc package is also used for the native tools.

For a more complete native development environment, containing C++ and debug support, the following additional packages should also be installed:

stlinux20-sh4-g++
stlinux20-sh4-libstdc++-dev
stlinux20-sh4-gdb

ST231 cross development tools

To cross build a C program for the ST231 Linux environment, the following packages are needed:

stlinux20-cross-st231-open64
stlinux20-cross-st231-binutils
stlinux20-st231-glibc-dev
stlinux20-cross-st231-open64crt
stlinux20-cross-st231-open64lao
stlinux20-cross-st231-open64wrappers
stlinux20-cross-st231-st200libgcc

To include C++ and debug support in the cross development environment the following additional packages should be installed:

stlinux20-st231-st200libstdc++
stlinux20-cross-st231-gdb
stlinux20-st231-gdb
