This version of Sourcery CodeBench supports the following host operating systems and architectures:
Microsoft Windows XP (SP1), Windows Vista, and Windows 7 systems using IA32, AMD64, and Intel 64 processors.
GNU/Linux systems using IA32, AMD64, or Intel 64 processors, including Debian 3.1 (and later), Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (and later), SuSE Enterprise Linux 8 (and later), and Ubuntu 8.04 (and later).
Sourcery CodeBench is built as a 32-bit application. Therefore, even when running on a 64-bit host system, Sourcery CodeBench requires 32-bit host libraries. If these libraries are not already installed on your system, you must install them before installing and using Sourcery CodeBench Lite. Consult your operating system documentation for more information about obtaining these libraries.
The Sourcery CodeBench graphical installer is incompatible with the
dash shell, which is the default
/bin/sh for recent releases of the
Ubuntu and Debian GNU/Linux distributions. To install
Sourcery CodeBench Lite on these systems, you must make
/bin/sh a symbolic link to one of the
supported shells:
bash,
csh,
tcsh,
zsh,
or ksh.
For example, on Ubuntu systems, the recommended way to do this is:
> sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow dash Install as /bin/sh? No
This is a limitation of the installer and uninstaller only, not of the installed Sourcery CodeBench Lite toolchain.
In order to install and use Sourcery CodeBench Lite, you must have at least 512MB of available memory.
The amount of disk space required for a complete Sourcery CodeBench Lite
installation directory depends on the host operating system
and the number of target libraries included.
When you start the graphical installer, it checks whether there is
sufficient disk space before beginning to install. Note that
the graphical installer also requires additional temporary
disk space during the installation process.
On Microsoft Windows hosts, the installer uses the location
specified by the TEMP environment variable for
these temporary files.
If there is not enough free space on that volume, the installer
prompts for an alternate location.
On Linux hosts, the installer puts temporary files in the
directory specified by the IATEMPDIR environment
variable, or /tmp if that is not set.
See Chapter 3, “Sourcery CodeBench Lite for ARM EABI” for requirements that apply to the target system.
