i have to interface a display on limex dev board using SPI interface.i downloaded the library for the interface which has a spi.c driver file.now i need to build it so that i can write data to display on board.so how do i use this arm toolchain i built for arm which also has gcc for arm to build?

On the arm device or with a cross compiler correctly configured:
gcc spi.c -o outputFile

k but the problem is its not a single c file.it has some .h supporting files.a make file would be convienient but its unavailable.so i need to compile it to produce a main.bin without using makefile.how do i do that?

Just place the ' spi.c ' in a new empty folder
together with all headers.h .

And if not already done, add these #include lines to spi.c :

.. like this .. the quotes tell : look for the headers in the spi.c directory.

#include "header.h"
#include "header2.h"
#include "header3.h"

.. and then ..
cd new/
gcc spi.c -o main.bin
.....
