TLDR



you need to call arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc not arm-linux-gcc.





It looks like you've just got the wrong file name. For reference apt-file is a useful tool.



sudo apt-get install apt-file
sudo apt-file update
apt-file search -x 'gcc$' | grep 'gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi'


This searches any file ending gcc in any package with gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi in the name. The result is:



gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi: /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc


So if you have installed gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi you should have a file /usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc.

    Knowing to search for arm-linux-gnueabi means knowing the answer already ;-). apt-file search -x 'arm-linux.*gcc$' would be more discoverable.

  • I had no prior knowledge of any of this before attempting to find it myself.

As steeldriver suggests, you already have installed the cross-compiler; the problem is that you’re using the wrong command to invoke it, you need to use the arm-linux-gnueabi- prefix in general. So run



arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc


or



arm-linux-gnueabi-g++


and it should work fine.



To figure this out yourself, you can use dpkg -L to list the contents of the packages you’ve installed:



dpkg -L gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi

    As steeldriver suggests, you already have installed the cross-compiler; the problem is that you’re using the wrong command to invoke it, you need to use the arm-linux-gnueabi- prefix in general. So run



    arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc


    or



    arm-linux-gnueabi-g++


    and it should work fine.



    To figure this out yourself, you can use dpkg -L to list the contents of the packages you’ve installed:
