[ELDK] ELDK 5.2.1 Installation Help

[Laritz, Frank J.]

Hey everyone,

I am brand new to the ELDK and am having some trouble with installation and forming an overall understanding how to use the ELDK.

Here is some information about the setup I am using:
Target - AMCC PowerPC 460 EX
Host - Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server, Release 5.2 (Tikanga)
Tool chain - eldk-eglibc-i686-powerpc-toolchain-gmae-5.2.1.tar.bz2
Root File System - core-image-base-generic-powerpc-4xx.tar.gz

I have been following the instructions on http://www.denx.de/wiki/ELDK-5/WebHome. So far I have correctly setup the eldk-download directory and the targets/powerpc-4xx sub-directories and downloaded the install script, target.conf file, tool chain, and RFS. However, when I attempt to run the installation script I receive an error. Below is what the terminal displays:

$ ./install.sh -s game -r base powerpc-4xx
mktemp: invalid option -- -
Usage: mktemp [-V] \ [-dqtu] [-p prefix] [template]

It appears that the use of "tmpdir" in install.sh was the cause of the error. So, I decided to bypass the script and unzip the tool chain into my host /opt directory and create a directory called rootfs-base in the newly created /opt/eldk-5.2.1/powerpc-4xx directory and unzip the RFS into that. Is that correct? I am unsure if I have installed the ELDK correctly or not.

Next, I also setup all of the environment variables in the environment-setup-ppc440e-linux file and set ARCH and CROSS_COMPILE.

I proceeded to test if I installed the ELDK correctly by using a small C program called test.c. However, I was unsuccessful. (I verified that the code compiled and ran successfully on my host system.)

C code:
#include <stdio.h>

int main () {
                printf("This is a test!\n");
}

Terminal Display:
$ ppc-linux-gcc test.c -o test
-bash: ppc-linux-gcc: command not found
$ {CROSS_COMPILE}gcc test.c -o test
-bash: {CROSS_COMPILE}gcc: command not found

So, I proceeded to double check my environment variables and those seem to be correct.

Terminal Display:
$ echo $ARCH
powerpc
$ echo $CROSS_COMPILE
powerpc-linux-
$ echo $PATH
/opt/eldk-5.2.1/powerpc-4xx/sysroots/i686-eldk-linux/usr/bin: /opt/eldk-5.2.1/powerpc-4xx/sysroots/i686-eldk-linux/usr/bin/ppc440e-linux: /opt/eldk-5.2.1/powerpc-4xx/sysroots/i686-eldk-linux/usr/bin: /opt/eldk-5.2.1/powerpc-4xx/sysroots/i686-eldk-linux/usr/bin/ppc440e-linux: usr/kerberos/sbin: /usr/kerberos/bin: /usr/local/sbin: /usr/local/bin: /sbin: /bin: /usr/sbin: /usr/bin: /root/bin

So, I am not sure how to proceed. If anyone can give some guidance for installing the ELDK and how to use it, I would greatly appreciate it.

Kindest Regards,
Frank
