build kernel with aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc

I am trying to build the kernel source on my platform with the following command:

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=aarch64-linux-gnu- generic-v8-defconfig

However, the error messages appear as shown in the following:

/bin/sh: 1: aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc: not found

It's obvious I have not this version of gcc installed on my laptop.

I then followed

http://www.howtoinstall.co/en/ubuntu/trusty/main/gcc-4.8-aarch64-linux-gnu/

This to install gcc-4.8-aarch-linux-gnu,

however, I still get the same error message.

Ubuntu version: 14.04

Please let me know if you know how to fix this.

Thanks

Solution

  • looks like a PATH issue. what happens when you just type "aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc "in your shell? does it find the compiler?
