Request to Add arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc Package

armoon · 2026-09-09 16:01:26

Hi All,

Could we please have arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc available as an installable package? This toolchain is essential for supporting ARMv7 devices running Linux, such as Raspberry Pi 2/3 in 32‑bit mode, BeagleBone boards, and other embedded Linux platforms.

-Thanks,
Anand

I found this in AUR:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages?O=0& … eabihf-gcc

Yes, I attempted to build on an x86 CPU, but the process failed. I also tried the suggested solution, yet it still isn’t working

# 1. Headers
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/arm-linux-gnu … eaders.git
cd arm-linux-gnueabihf-linux-api-headers && makepkg -si

# 2. Binutils
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/arm-linux-gnu … nutils.git
cd arm-linux-gnueabihf-binutils && makepkg -si

# 3. GCC Stage1
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/arm-linux-gnu … stage1.git
cd arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-stage1 && makepkg -si

# 4. Glibc
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/arm-linux-gnueabihf-glibc.git
cd arm-linux-gnueabihf-glibc && makepkg -si

# 5. GCC Stage2
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/arm-linux-gnu … stage2.git
cd arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-stage2 && makepkg -si

# 6. Final GCC
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc.git
cd arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc && makepkg -si

arch32 is not Arch and is not supported here.

If he uses an x86_64 machine, to compile any AUR package, this is a valid post.

Please post the entire thing for the 1st package, incl. command line and complete output.

Yes, this is for ARM32-bit cross-compilation on X86

Here is the command to build the arm-linux-gnueabihf-linux

Use code tags for terminal output please. Also, the output is not complete, obviously.

Lone_Wolf · Yesterday 19:06:21

Please add --log to the makepkg invocation and post the files it creates somewhere on a public pastebin site.

Nothing failed in that arm-linux-gnueabihf-linux-api-headers build in the github gist. The package built, and was installed.

(1/1) reinstalling arm-linux-gnueabihf-linux-api-headers                                  [####################################################] 100%

If you need help with a failing build, we'll need to see that.

FTR, it's unlikely that this toolchain will be added tot the official repos, as the hardware is EOL.

Thanks, there is a dependency on the order of the packages to build and install

$ git clone [url]https://aur.archlinux.org/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-stage1.git[/url]
$ arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-stage1
$ makepkg -si --log

Here is the build failure log. I could not figure out the reason for the abort

So you lack https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/arm- … gcc-stage1 to build https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/arm- … bc-headers which is required for https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/arm- … gcc-stage2
You do have https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/arm- … f-binutils?

And please use [code][/code] tags. Edit your post in this regard.

armoon · Today 08:00:34

Yes, I have built the packages

Thanks, I will follow the protocol in future posts.

Have you also *installed* them?

pacman -Qs arm-linux-gnueabihf

armoon · Today 08:09:11

Thanks, let me check what's missing on my side

sudo  pacman -Qs arm-linux-gnueabihf
