Install build-essentials
sudo apt-get install build-essential libncurses5-dev lzop
Install Cross Compiler
This section can be skipped if you are doing native compiling on a ARM platform
- Install a 32Bits version:
wget -c https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/7.3-2018.05/arm-linux-gnueabihf/gcc-linaro-7.3.1-2018.05-i686_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz
tar xf gcc-linaro-7.3.1-2018.05-i686_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz
export CROSS_COMPILE=`pwd`/gcc-linaro-7.3.1-2018.05-i686_arm-linux-gnueabihf/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-
export ARCH=arm
- Install a 64Bits version:
wget -c https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/7.3-2018.05/arm-linux-gnueabihf/gcc-linaro-7.3.1-2018.05-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf.tar.xz
