Gordian knot @make: gcc-multilib vs. gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf

Support

Hi,
I’ve tried to make an image for a Zed-Board under Ubuntu 18.04 with Xilinx 2020.1 versions:
The flow , respectively parts of it seem to require
gcc-multilib and
gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf
but they are mutually exclusive: Installing one of them uninstalls the other.
I have searched at lot for a remedy but did not find any that worked.
So how can I solve this issue?
Thanks!

Forgot the actual error message:

Hi Vnick and Emcyhn, hope you’re doing well.
I’m using Ubuntu 18.04 in a VMware workstation. The Xilinx tools are the 2020.2 as well as the PetaLinux version. At first, I had the same problem when running make BOARDS=Pynq-Z1. This problem was solved by following this: PYNQ 2.5 ct-ng build error. For instance, I went to ~/PYNQ/sdcard/build/ and remove the gcc-mb folder. After that, I run make BOARDS=Pynq-Z1.
However, the crosstool-ng uses broken links to the libisl and expat. To correct that I used: Resolving download issues (e.g isl-0.20, expat-2.2.6) · Issue #1625 · crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng · GitHub. Specifically, I edited the libisl and expat mirrors in /opt/crosstool-ng/share/crosstool-ng/config/versions/isl.in and expat.in, and /opt/crosstool-ng/share/crosstool-ng/packages/isl/packages.desc and /opt/crosstool-ng/share/crosstool-ng/packages/expat/packages.desc. Then remove the gcc-mb and run make again. With this changes the compilation process continued.
Hope it can be useful.
Regards,
Dorfell :slight_smile:

The issue with ISL has also been mentioned here: Pynq Compilation isl: download fail and here: Cannot build PYNQ2.7 because isl.gforge.inria site is shut down - #2 by bierkof

Hi Dorfell, I am encountering this problem when trying to build an image for the zcu216. I am having trouble applying your advice to my situation. Do you know what I could do to overcome this issue if I am building the image with this github:

Hello, Charles. I hope you are doing well. if I remember correctly, I didn’t try to build the image for an ZCU board because I didn’t have one to test. I’m sorry I can’t be more helpful :sweat_smile:
