Cross-compiling for arm64

Question

I'm trying to install papi tools on juno arm development board, I have installed 64-bit Linaro `ack-armlt' Android Common Kernel plus Android filesystem on that board (I followed this tutorial to accomplish that).

My system is:

Linux lfpm1993-virtual-machine 4.13.0-43-generic #48~16.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu May 17 12:56:46 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Compiling shows these logs:

I'm not very experienced with cross-compilling and/or using juno board and Android. So, if this is a 'basic' question have some pacience and thank you for your time.

Solution

Running "make distclean" first solved it.

./configure --host=aarch64-linux-gnu --prefix=/opt/install-arm64/papi-5.6.1.0 --with-ffsll --with-walltimer=cycle --with-tls=__thread --with-virtualtimer=perfctr --with-perf-events --with-arch=aarch64 --with-CPU=arm

make

sudo make install

To install those binary files in /opt/install-arm64/papi-5.6.1.0.
