Ubuntu16.04(64bit)中制作arm-linux-gcc

    Mini2440官方所提供的arm-linux-gcc是基于32位Linux系统的，在64位Linux中运行会出错[1]。在64位机时代里，继续使用32位Linux进行开发就显得有点out了。针对上述背景，本文在64位Linux中制作arm-linux-gcc工具，主要开发环境如下：

    Ubuntu16.04（64bit）

    arm-linux-gcc 4.6.3

    Buildtroot

1  Buildroot

1.1 配置

    下载Buildroot源码并解压，进入其目录执行下述命令启动配置界面：

make menuconfig

    配置界面如下：



    第一次执行make menucofig时，可能会出错：

onesea@ubuntu:~/Mini2440/Buildroot/buildroot-2016.02$ make menuconfig
mkdir -p /home/onesea/Mini2440/Buildroot/buildroot-2016.02/output/build/buildroot-config/lxdialog

    根据上述错误提示，当前系统缺乏ncurses库，执行下述命令进行安装即可：

sudo apt-get install libncurses-dev
