Compiling and Running Programs With Linux and Qtopia 2.2.0
Literal translations of the original Chinese user manual are fraught with imminent peril!
In this text everything has been tested and corrected. We assume you are using the Linux
2.6.29 kernel and Qtopia 2.2.0 that ships on the Mini2440. This is tested with Debian
system on the host PC. Under Redhat or Fedora some directories might be automatically
created during uncompression of files. Making them ahead of time won’t hurt anything.
Setting up the gcc cross compiler.
The current version (Aug 1009) of the FriendlyARM software uses the arm-linux-gcc-
4.3.2 compiler for everything from the boot loader to Qtopia. The compressed compiler is
in the /linux directory of the DVD. Copy it to a convenient place like /tmp. You will need
to be the super user to do this. Then untar the
$ su [root password]
# cd /tmp
(with a capital ‘C’)
# tar xvzf arm-linux-gcc-4.3.2.tgz -C/
If this fails, make the directories first.
# cd ..
# mkdir /usr/local/arm
# mkdir /user/local/arm/4.3.2
