problem in compiling oprofile for arm
 

Hi All,

from past two day I was struggling to resolve a compilation problem which comes across compiling of oprofiler for arm
for compilation steps I followed are

- configuration

CC=arm_v6_vfp_le-gcc CXX=arm_v6_vfp_le-g++ ./configure -target=arm-linux --with-extra-libs=/opt/arm_v6_vfp_le/lib/ --with-extra-includes=/opt/arm_v6_vfp_le/include/

after configuration while making it gives error

/opt/arm_v6_vfp_le/lib/libbfd.a: could not read symbols: File in wrong format

i have compiled bin utils for arm again and change libbfd but result was as it is
please help me if any one have idea

Thanks in advance

'oprofile' requires 'libbfd.so' , which means that
binutils must be configured with ' --enable-shared '
to create libbfd.so -> libbfd-2.xx.xx.x.so

May be, you already have a libbfd-2.xx.xx.x.so in
your "arm tool chain" ( cross compiler ) and the
link libbfd.so is missing ? ?

Example package 'libbfd-dev' for arm :
