How to install OsmocomBB

How to install OsmocomBB
Atract :
OsmocomBB is an Free Software / Open Source GSM Baseband software implementation.
By using OsmocomBB on a compatible phone, you are able to make and receive phone calls, send and receive SMS, etc. based on Free Software only.

Introduce :
This is the project page about their experiments (so far) only
with phones based on the Ti Calypso/Iota/Rita GSM baseband chipset.
The main target is the MotorolaC123. For more supported phones,
check below.They originally intended to build an inexpensive GSM
experimentation board built with/around that chipset, but right now
are pursuing a slightly alternative course by using cheap
off-the-shelf feature phones and write custom software for
it.

OsmocomBB Getting Started :

1. Dependencies for the host
osmocomBB requires GNU autoconf, automake, libtool,
pkg-config, make and GCC to compile. You will also need to use git
to access and update the sources. There should be no other
depedencies. The name of these packages depend on the distribution
used. To

For Debian the package names are:

sudo aptitude install libtool shtool autoconf git-core
pkg-config make gcc

2. Getting and updating the source :

git clone git://git.osmocom.org/osmocom-bb.git

3. Dependencies for the target

To compile osmocomBB or SIMtrace for the target we need a GNU
toolchain for ARM.

GNUArm
The toolchains that are known working are the
GNUArm.com ones. They provide a ARM GCC 3.4.3 for
x86 here and a ARM GCC 4.0.2 for x86_64
here. The toolchain is relocatable and can be
extracted in your home directory.

For x86

wget http://gnuarm.com/bu-2.15_gcc-3.4.3-c-c++-java_nl-1.12.0_gi-6.1.tar.bz2 tar xf
bu-2.15_gcc-3.4.3-c-c++-java_nl-1.12.0_gi-6.1.tar.bz2
mv gnuarm-* ~/gnuarm
For amd64

wget http://www.gnuarm.com/bu-2.16.1_gcc-4.0.2-c-c++_nl-1.14.0_gi-6.4_x86-64.tar.bz2 tar xf bu-*_gcc-*-c-c++_nl-*_gi-*_x86-64.tar.bz2
mv gnuarm-* ~/gnuarm
To be able to use the toolchain, add the crosscompilers to
your PATH

export PATH=~/gnuarm/bin:$PATH

My PC is X86_64 and I choose arm-gcc4.0.2. If you do not
install wget, you should install it using apt-get:

sudo apt-get install wget

4. Building the source

Compiling both the target and the host code will happen with
the following command. It assumes that the arm-elf-gcc is inside
the current path.

$ cd src
$ make

Now, I install it successfully.
