Installing an ARM Toolchain in Fedora

You can easily install an arm cross-compiler on Fedora as follows:

cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
sudo wget http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/cross/cross.repo
sudo yum install armv5tel-redhat-linux-gnueabi-gcc

You can check the installation worked by checking the cross-compiler version

[jaufranc@localhost ~]$ armv5tel-redhat-linux-gnueabi-gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: armv5tel-redhat-linux-gnueabi
Configured with: ../configure –prefix=/usr –mandir=/usr/share/man –infodir=/usr/share/info –enable-shared –enable-threads=posix –enable-checking=release –with-system-zlib –enable-__cxa_atexit –disable-libunwind-exceptions –enable-languages=c,c++ –disable-libgcj –with-sysroot=yes –enable-version-specific-runtime-libs –target=armv5tel-redhat-linux-gnueabi
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.1.2 20070925 (Red Hat 4.1.2-33.fa1)

This will only install the C compiler (gcc), to install the C++ compiler, run the following command:

sudo yum install armv5tel-redhat-linux-gnueabi-gcc-c++

Tested in Fedora 12.
