## Build ## Build
If you want to build PbDbFixer yourself, make sure that you have Rust's toolchain target `arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi` as well as the GCC cross compiler for ARM CPUs installed. On **Arch** Linux, the AUR package `arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc75-linaro-bin` does the job. On **Debian**, you have to install the package `gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi`. Don't forget to tell `cargo` which compiler/linker it has to invoke. In my case, I had to edit `~/.cargo/config`: If you want to build PbDbFixer yourself, make sure that you have Rust's toolchain target `arm-unknown-linux-gnueabi` as well as the GCC cross compiler for ARM CPUs installed.
