1、以4.3.2版本的编译器为例
将arm-linux-gcc-4.3.2.tar.bz2放在/work目录下
解压缩：
sudo tar jxvf /work/arm-linux-gcc-4.3.2.tar.bz2 -C /
添加环境变量：
sudo vi /etc/environment
注释掉原有的环境变量
#PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/work/tools/gcc-3.4.5-glibc-2.3.6/bin"
增加新的环境变量并保存
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/arm/4.3.2/bin/"
使生效
source /etc/environment检查是否成功
book@book-desktop:/usr/local/arm/4.3.2/bin$ arm-linux-gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: arm-none-linux-gnueabi
Configured with: /scratch/julian/lite-respin/linux/src/gcc-4.3/configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --target=arm-none-linux-gnueabi --enable-threads --disable-libmudflap --disable-libssp --disable-libstdcxx-pch --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-shared --enable-symvers=gnu --enable-__cxa_atexit --with-pkgversion=‘Sourcery G++ Lite 2008q3-72‘ --with-bugurl=https://support.codesourcery.com/GNUToolchain/ --disable-nls --prefix=/opt/codesourcery --with-sysroot=/opt/codesourcery/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc --with-build-sysroot=/scratch/julian/lite-respin/linux/install/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/libc --with-gmp=/scratch/julian/lite-respin/linux/obj/host-libs-2008q3-72-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu/usr --with-mpfr=/scratch/julian/lite-respin/linux/obj/host-libs-2008q3-72-arm-none-linux-gnueabi-i686-pc-linux-gnu/usr --disable-libgomp --enable-poison-system-directories --with-build-time-tools=/scratch/julian/lite-respin/linux/install/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/bin --with-build-time-tools=/scratch/julian/lite-respin/linux/install/arm-none-linux-gnueabi/bin
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.3.2 (Sourcery G++ Lite 2008q3-72)

2、更换3.4.5版本的编译器
将arm-linux-gcc-3.4.5-glibc-2.3.6.tar.bz2放置在/work目录
解压缩
sudo tar jxvf /work/arm-linux-gcc-3.4.5-glibc-2.3.6.tar.bz2 -C /
更改环境变量
sudo vi /etc/environment
注释掉原来的环境变量，增加新的环境变量
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/gcc-3.4.5-glibc-2.3.6/bin"
使生效
source /etc/environment
检查是否成功
book@book-desktop:/gcc-3.4.5-glibc-2.3.6/bin$ arm-linux-gcc -v
Reading specs from /gcc-3.4.5-glibc-2.3.6/bin/../lib/gcc/arm-linux/3.4.5/specs
Configured with: /work/tools/create_crosstools/crosstool-0.43/build/arm-linux/gcc-3.4.5-glibc-2.3.6/gcc-3.4.5/configure --target=arm-linux --host=i686-host_pc-linux-gnu --prefix=/work/tools/gcc-3.4.5-glibc-2.3.6 --with-float=soft --with-headers=/work/tools/gcc-3.4.5-glibc-2.3.6/arm-linux/include --with-local-prefix=/work/tools/gcc-3.4.5-glibc-2.3.6/arm-linux --disable-nls --enable-threads=posix --enable-symvers=gnu --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-shared --enable-c99 --enable-long-long
Thread model: posix
