While I'm trying this command

$ make ARCH=arm devkit8000 defconfig

I get this error:

How can i solve this error?

Solution

Do you have ARM toolchain installed? If there is no such package in Ubuntu you can download it from the internet and add it to your $PATH.

Take a look at what is arm-linux-gcc and how to install this in ubuntu

EDIT: It might be, that your makefile is looking for different filenames, than you have.

Try locating arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc file. Go to that directory and you may create links for each file with arm-linux-gnueabi- prefix.

Try after sudo su:

ln -s arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc arm-linux-gcc
ln -s arm-linux-gnueabi-cc arm-linux-cc

etc.

Might help, but I do not guarantee. Usually works ;-)
