Using Code::Blocks to compile for ARM9 (PandaBoard)

[dragondgold]

Hello ! I am new here, I am from Argentina, my name is Andrés. I recently bought a PandaBoard and i have Ubuntu running on it. I would like to start developing my own aplications on my Windows computer. I havent found anything to install ARM Compiler on Windows, I also was investigating and read something about "cross-compiler" for wxWidgets can anyone explain me that ?
I would like some information, help, to compile and debug ARM programs on Windows any information is very usefull to me

Thanks you and sorry my bad English

You should consult an ARM forum for this. This forum is only for CodeBlocks related matters. Try googling "yagarto" or "code sourcery".

Read this link http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Installing_a_supported_compiler#Compiler-neutral_setup_steps
If you do NOT know how to configure the CB Compiler toolchain ask a good question about what you do NOT understand.
STATE: The name and version of the Compiler and the folder it was installed into.
STATE: The Code::Blocks version.

And, turn on Full Compiler Logging after you get your Compiler Configuration setup up right inside of Code::Blocks.

Ok sorry, you are right, I apologise.
I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and my Code::Blocks version is 10.05. I would like to know how I can install an ARM Toolchain to work whit Code::Blocks on Ubuntu. Can I install any toolchain like this:

And then set it up to work whit Code::Blocks ?

Thanks you very much

CodeBlocks already supports GNU ARM toolchain, it should work if u just point to the right executables in the compiler config of CB.

Ok thanks you I have installed ARM Tool-Chain from Ubuntu repository named gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi, but Code::Blocks doesnt detect GCC ARM Compiler, how i set it up ?

Thanks you

Ubuntu is a good distributive, but with some non-standart solutions. Probably your gcc-arm installed to another path than C::B looking for.
Lokate your complier executables end set property path in C::B Main-menu>settings>"Compiler and debugger">"ToolChain Executables"[Tab]>"Compiler's installation dirrectory", and check if executable names is correct in fields below.
