Cross-Compiling Linux Kernel for Raspberry Pi

Question

I'm trying to follow this guide . I'm running on a 32bit Ubuntu installation.

I'm confused by this part: export CCPREFIX=/path/to/your/compiler/binary/prefix-of-binary- . I've looked through the tools folder I downloaded from github and can't find any binary files. Does anybody know what file the guide is referring to?

Thanks

The link that you are following gives an example of how to do this. At the top of the document it says CCPREFIX=/home/me/tools/arm-bcm2708/arm-bcm2708-linux-gnueabi/bin/arm-bcm2708-linux-gnueabi-

In other words, if you cloned https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools into the home directory then there would be a tools directory there and you should have the same path as the example.
