Install on ubuntu tutorial

[kid101skater]

I have made a tutorial on how to install the toolchain on ubuntu. it may work on other versions of linux but i tested on ubuntu. If i left out anything please let me know. Here is the tutorial:

If you do not have ubuntu then you can get it from

http://www.ubuntu.com/ Best linux distro in my opinion :)

First you need to install these lines of code in your terminal

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install subversion
sudo apt-get install texinfo
sudo apt-get install autoconf
sudo apt-get install automake
sudo apt-get install bison
sudo apt-get install flex
sudo apt-get install libgmp3-dev
sudo apt-get install libmpfr-dev

after you have installed those lines of code type in the folowing :

Code: Select all

sudo su

after you have done so you will now see something like

Code: Select all

example:
root@computer-name: 

Go to the directory where the toolchain is and type in

Code: Select all

./toolchain-sudo.sh

took me a total of 41 minutes on a amd 64x dual core 3800+

and then you will see it building the toolchain

this is nothing new many here use ubuntu with no problems

also you should not use sudo su it is pointless
all you must do is sudo ./toolchain-sudo.sh
and not that ubuntus libbzip doesnot work so well
in unpacking so you should use bz2 also apt-get is old
do prefer to use aptitude as it allows you to do sudo aptitude search <whatever>

[ooPo]

Well, 'apt-cache search <whatever>' works too...

But yeah, toolchain-sudo.sh was made so ubuntu folk can just run it with sudo.

I think its helpful. Even if very basic, at least a rookie like me now knows that it works and it contains some hints.
