I'm trying to get things to compile on a Debian system for the first time, but I have a few issues. I don't want to brick my camera, so I am asking out of an abundance of caution:
1. Are there any Debian/Ubuntu repositories for the arm toolchain that people are using with success? I think it would be helpful to include platform-specific instructions in the README files.
2. The toolchain/summon-arm script is looking for patch-gcc-4.6.2-config-arm-t-arm-elf.diff in the wrong place.
3. doc/menuindex.py is complaining about "Could not open menuindex.txt". What should I do about this? Is this safe to ignore, or is it a fatal error?
4. doc/menuindex.py is complaining about "mkdir: cannot create directory `cam': File exists". What should I do about this? Is this safe to ignore, or is it a fatal error?
5. ld is complaining about "stat: cannot stat `autoexec.bin': No such file or directory", but then I objcopy creates an autoexec.bin file. What should I do about this? Is this safe to ignore, or is it a fatal error?
Thanks
Hi,
1. You need to check the links posted here (http://www.magiclantern.fm/forum/index.php?topic=991.0), I'm not on ubuntu
2. Fix the script or put it manually in the right place, it's needed
3. no problem it's for documentation
4. ignore
5. ignore

@scrax: I appreciate your answers answers.
1. I had already followed the instructions that you pointed to, but I was looking for people who have located any Debian/Ubuntu repositories for the arm toolchain.
I am not new to development, but I am new to ML, so I am paranoid about bricking my camera by making a stupid mistake.
I don't mind installing the toolchain outside of the filesystem hierarchy standard (FHS), but that defeats the purpose of having a distribution. It would be great if someone knew of a repository out there that works.
2. Yes, I fixed the script myself, but I was pointing out the error, in case it needed to be fixed for people who need to apply the patch. Should the distributed script itself be fixed?
3 & 4 & 5. Can the setup files and Makefiles be amended so that we don't see these errors, or provide a more informative message? Warnings are fine.
Thanks
Got it to work on my 600D.
These zebras are fast, w00t!
3. In files ~/magic-lantern/doc/mkdoc.py and ~/magic-lantern/doc/mkdoc-cam.py you need to replace rst2latex.py with rst2latex
4. Directory already exists, so ignore.

I made the edit and ran ~/magic-lantern/doc/mkdoc.py but the menuindex.txt is not generated.
Which script generates this file?
