Mali OpenCL SDK compile problem

You should be able to use Linaro tools with Debian. That said, you might be able to install a cross-compiler using the following commands :

dpkg --add-architecture armhf
apt-get update
apt-get install crossbuild-essential-armhf
apt-get install g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf

Linaro cross-compilers seems to be used like this :

• Extract the cross-compiler gcc in a folder
• Then add the folder to your path, like this:
  export PATH="$PATH":/path/to/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-*_linux/bin/

Whether you use one method of the other, when trying to autocomplete "arm" on a shell (e.g. pressing TAB 3 times on Bash), you should be able to see something like :

arm-linux-gnueabihf-addr2line
arm-linux-gnueabihf-ar
arm-linux-gnueabihf-as
...
arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++
arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc

At that point, you might be able to compile the SDK

Note that you might want to also try arm and gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi instead of armhf and gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf if you want to use the soft float ABI.

Also, note that some configuration scripts will use the following variables to determine the cross-compiling tools prefix :

• CROSS_COMPILE
• ARCH

For example, you might have to export the following variables before configuring/compiling some packages :

export CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-
export ARCH=arm

Yes, as stated above, in order to use a Linaro pre-packaged toolset, you'll have to download the appropriate archive from linaro's HTTP repository and :

• Extract the archive in a folder

• Then add the folder to your path, like this:
  export PATH="$PATH":/path/to/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-*_linux/bin/
