Hello,
 
I am trying to crosscompile on my laptop for an arm v7 processor, using the linaro toolchain.
 
I downloaded the following :
 
 http://releases.linaro.org/14.05/components/toolchain/binaries/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9-2014.05_linux.tar.xz
 
In order to build it, I am using the instructions provided in the README located in 
 
http://releases.linaro.org/14.05/components/toolchain/binaries/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9-2014.05_linux.tar.xz
 
However, the instructions do not work, several packages are missing (e.g. apt-get install lsb lsb-build-cc3 lsb-appchk3 ccache )
 
Can someone please help urgently because I need to build the compiler?
 
Thank you
Haris Papadopoulos

Thank you,
 
in order to build the compiler, should I use the following file?
 
/home/user/Desktop/new_linaro/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.9-2014.05_linux/share/doc/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf/README.txt 
 
Thank you
