Hi All,

New to Linaro. We are trying to sync the source for Panda Board, as per the steps mentioned in the following link: https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/Android/GetSource

We are unable to sync the two projects from external folder. So skipped thous projects. We used both default (GCC 4.4.0) and Linaro (GCC 4.6.0) toolchain. But build is unsuccessful. When we did a web search for the error, it was mention that as compiler issues.

Can someone share, which is the suitable Android release for development?

It would be nice to see a snippet of your build failure. However, I've been doing a lot of Panda builds lately on Ubuntu 11.10(oneiric). The main thing I had to do was install GCC-4.5 for my host compiler. The Linaro-4.6 cross-compile toolchain should work fine for the target.

You'll want to make sure you are using the proper host tools with something like:

$ make -j4 TARGET_TOOLS_PREFIX=/var/code/ics/toolchain/bin/arm-linux-androideabi- HOST_CC=gcc-4.5 HOST_CPP=cpp-4.5 HOST_CXX=g++-4.5 boottarball systemtarball userdatatarball

NOTE: TARGET_TOOLS_PREFIX will likely vary on your system
