Help in installing gcc in ubuntu

[Ibaghdadi]

Hi;
I am having some troubles in installing GCC . Actually i followed the instructions in this website :Installing the GNU tools (avr-gcc) for AVRs But I think after trying all the possible ways I reached to a dead end, I hope if someone can help me. I will explain what I did in details, because I am not sure where the error is:
so after creating the directories and specifying the Path (as mentioned in that website) I had to go to binutils folder to configure it but the following command :

../configure --target=avr --prefix=/usr/local/avr --program-prefix="avr-"

bash: ../configure: NO such file or directory

I don't know if what I did is right but I tried to remove a dot from(../configure) and then it worked correctly I guess.
After that I installed it with make and make install without any problems.

Now the problem appeared again in configuring gcc the following command did not work at first.

../configure --target=avr --prefix=/usr/local/avr --enable-language=c --program-prefix="avr-"

But after some search I downloaded gmp4.3.2 and mpfr 3.0.1, untared them and put them in the gcc folder under the names of gmp and mpfr. and I ran ./configure and make and make install in each folder.

After that the ../configure (mentioned earlier) command in the gcc folder worked and make file was created but the command make did not work and gave me the following error:



I also tried the following command:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Can some one help me please?

Perhaps you can run

make distclean

as mentioned in the error message.

GCC needs to compile on a separate directory you should pass a build dir kind of thing.

But Why not try CrossTool-NG ? it will take all your hassles and give you a cross compiler.

Well The OP asked about gcc for AVR. So if your distribution HAS a gcc-avr then only you can use "apt-get".

Well you are very correct but ...:lol:
