install tools for Qtopia2.2.0 for mini2440

Hello Friends!!
Here i am posting the total steps for the installation of the tools for the mini2440 , 3.5" Linux board

The arm-linux-gcc-4.3.2 toolchain
Before directly starting with the Qtopia we need to install the GNU toolchain for the supported platform.

1.1 We'll need these archives from the DVD or website http://www.friendlyarm.net/downloads
arm-linux-gcc-4.3.2.tgz
1.2 Extract the compressed tar file by the command
tar xzvf arm-linux-gcc-4.3.2.tgz
it will create the directory at the /usr/local/arm/4.3.2 which consist of all binaries
1.3 Add the path for this binaries
edit the /etc/profile file to set the path for the installed binaries
PATH=/usr/local/arm/4.3.2/bin:$PATH
export PATH
1.4 And to activate this path type the command
source /etc/profile
1.5 Now to Varify whether the toolchain is installed or not, please type following command on the prompt
arm-linux-gcc --version
1.6 It will show the following output
arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc (Sourcery G++ Lite 2008q3-72) 4.3.2
