[Discuss-gnuradio] unable to compile firmware with microblaze

[Arun Pillai]

I am running Ubuntu 10.10  2.6.35-22-generic with x86_64. I tried the 
prebuilt binary as per instructions here: 
http://gnuradio.org/redmine/wiki/gnuradio/USRP2UserFAQ

Specifically, I did the following:

================
$ wget http://gnuradio.org/tools/mb-gcc-4.1.1.gr2.i386.tar.gz

Once you've downloaded the tarball,

$ sudo bash
# cd /opt
# tar xzvf <path-to-tarball>

Then add /opt/microblaze/bin to PATH ( export 
PATH=$PATH:/opt/microblaze/bin )
==================

However, when I run configure.gnu in the firmware directory, I get the 
following error in config.log:

configure:3134: error: in `/home/rahul/vmimo/code/gnuradio/usrp2/firmware':
configure:3137: error: C compiler cannot create executables

When I also explicitly run:

mb-gcc with our without explicit path qualifier of /opt/microblaze/bin/, 
I get the following error:

$ /opt/microblaze/bin% ./mb-gcc
zsh: no such file or directory: ./mb-gcc

This despite the file existing:

$ /opt/microblaze/bin% ls -l mb-gcc
-rwxr-xr-x 1 500 500 192961 2008-10-13 19:47 mb-gcc*

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Arun
