Well, gdb and insight are the last two steps. If you aren't planning to use them then you should be okay. By that point the compiler and sdk are installed.
As for why it failed, you'll have to post more of the output - specifically any part that looks like an error.
Have i installed it successfully? If not, wat should i do...
I have the same problem too, and using Kubuntu 7.04.
When I re-run the toolchain.sh I found there is a error message: "can not find termcap library", so I installed the libncurses5-dev package and the problem solved.
hopefully this could help you.
That's strange. The check-ncurses.sh script in the depends directory should stop the process and give you an error before it even begins to build anything.
#!/bin/sh
# check-ncurses.sh by Dan Peori ([email protected])
## Check for a ncurses library.
ls /usr/lib/libncurses.a 1> /dev/null || ls /usr/lib/libncurses.dll.a || { echo "ERROR: Install ncurses before continuing."; exit 1; }
In the meantime, you can avoid building from scratch by installing ncurses development support and then running './toolchain.sh 7' to build just gdb.
libncurses.* is in the package libncurses5 and libtermcap.* iz in libncurses5-dev under ubuntu, so if i installed libncurses5 but not with libncurses5-dev, the check process will past sucessfully, but the installation will fail when compliling gdb.
maybe that is only happened on ubuntu and i do not know if these two libs are in the same package on other distro, so please install these two packages when using ubuntu.
