Can someone please help me with cross-compiling and then installing and running the lmbench Linux benchmark program on an ARM target?
I tried to run a command like: CC=arm-linux-gcc AR=arm-linux-ar RANLIB=arm-linux-ranlib TARGET=linux OS=arm-linux make results in the src directory of lmbench 3.0-a3, and I got errors. I also tried compiling directly on the target, and got other segmentation fault errors.
It works fine directly on my Linux host, but I need it to run on my target as well.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

This might not help much, but here's how I cross-compiled lmbench-2:
NAME=lmbench-2.0-patch2 DIRNAME=LMbench tar -xzvf @IXIA_TARBALLS@/$NAME.tgz patch -g0 -p0 < cross.patch cd $DIRNAME/src CC=@CROSS_TOOL@gcc AR=@CROSS_TOOL@ar RANLIB=@CROSS_TOOL@ranlib CFLAGS="@TARGET_CFLAGS@" OS=linux-@ARCH@ TARGET=linux ../scripts/build all
(note: I don't think 'make results' is likely to work in an embedded target; better to run the individual program you care about by hand...)

I have downloaded and compiled LMbench, and got some binary files in /bin/linux-arm. I got the error below when I applied the cross.patch. Do you know what would be the reason? I ignored it, and went ahead with compilation. Now, how do I run the binary files on ARM? Do I just copy them over to my target and do ./? Will that work?
Have you tried the most recent version (lmbench3.0-a3) on an embedded platform? Would that work? If not, is there a reason?
Thanks a lot for your help.
