如何在没有编译器的Linux上安装gcc

Question

I have a very light Linux OS that does not have any compiler on it. How can I install gcc or g++ on it? The target hardware is an armv7-a processor. Can I compile gcc on my x86 system and then install it on my armv7 Linux??

Answer 1

Yes, you can compile your code on your x86 device and then export it to your arm device. But for this, you need a special compiler. This process is called "cross-compilation", where you compile a code for a special target device on an other device.

For arm devices, the one I used was the "arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc" compiler.

Once installed, you can use it just like your casual gcc compiler. For example, on linux, it would be something like this :

$ arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -o your_program your_program.c

You then export the compiled output to your device, and it should work.

Answer 2

Cross-compiling may be the solution for you It allows you to compile executables for one architecture on a system of a different architecture. here is link http://www.landley.net/writing/docs/cross-compiling.html
