Dear Williams, Thank you for your reply.
It's true that I've got emdebian-tools installed. In fact, it's the tool that helps me find the site. I followed the procedure on the webpage. But still I encountered some kind of error as follow: shuang:~/.dpkg-cross# emsetup --verbose --simulate Dry run only.

Dear all, I'm trying to install the cross compile tool on my Debian system. I used the command line: apt-cross -a arm -i binutils gcc-4.1
You need to cross-compile binutils and gcc-4.1, not simply install arm versions.
i.e. you need an arm toolchain.
Have you installed emdebian-tools? The Emdebian Quick Start Guide shows you how to setup your system with prebuilt toolchains to cross-compile for arm.
http://wiki.debian.org/EmdebianQuickStart <http://wiki.debian.org/EmdebianQuickStart>
Pre-built toolchains are available for i386, amd64 and powerpc but the current problems with glibc in Debian may complicate installation of any toolchain right now.
If you need a toolchain for a different build architecture, emdebian-tools also includes emchain which will build a usable toolchain for you.
apt-cross is NOT sufficient to build a toolchain - it is only intended to make libraries and build tools (like pkg-config) available within a cross-build.
Maybe my gcc is too new. I got the following error:
The current gcc in Debian unstable IS too new - it has failed to build on arm but the versions in Lenny (testing) should be OK when built correctly.
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libgcc1-arm-cross: libgcc1-arm-cross depends on gcc-4.1-base (= 4.1.1-21); however: Version of gcc-4.1-base on system is 4.1.2-5.
libgcc1-arm-cross should depend on gcc-4.1-arm-linux-gnu-base. If you built this toolchain yourself, you missed the DEB_CROSS_INDEPENDENT=yes environment setting.
gcc-4.1-arm-cross depends on gcc-4.1-base (= 4.1.1-21); however:
You should have gcc-4.1-arm-linux-gnu NOT arm-cross.

Would anyone please help me out? Or would anyone please tell me how to test if my cross compile binutils is installed successfull.
It needs to be cross-compiled in order to be installed.
