Install SimpleScalar in Ubuntu 10.10

Install SimpleScalar in Ubuntu 10.10

Environment: Ubuntu 10.10; gcc 4.4.5;

Architecture experiments are required. Installation is troublesome. The main reason is that the cross-compiler gcc version is 2.7.2. SimpleScalar writes "newer version" (compared with its own version 2.6 ). Basically, each make operation is an error... According to the instructor's instruction, there are still errors in step-by-step installation, or I have encountered errors in step-by-step installation. It takes a lot of effort to complete the installation. Finally, it depends on the resources of foreign universities. There is an installation script on the website, which is successfully executed on my Ubuntu10.10.

First the web site drying: http://www.ann.ece.ufl.edu/courses/eel5764_10fal/project/

It seems to be the materials used by an assistant professor at the University of Florida for teaching, including some installation of SimpleScalar and an installation script buildSS. The installation instructions are basically the same as those in my lab guide. The installation script is the most useful. Thank you!

Directly paste the script code for future use:

If you have downloaded the required tar package, you can

1. Wget http://csrl.unt.edu/downloads/?package.tgz

Remove this line. You can also download it directly, that is, the speed may be a little slow. This package contains all required tools. Use the simscalar-cheetath script.
