14:21 <mk2soldier> Hi guys what options do you use for cross-compiling software for the cubieboard?

14:32 <ecelis> mk2soldier: hi, I see you are still struglin with cross compiling

14:33 <ecelis> usally it only takes make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-none-linux-gnueabi-

14:33 <ecelis> to get a cross compiled binary

14:34 <ecelis> but it might need something extra, depending on the software you want to build

14:34 <ecelis> can you be a bit more specific?

14:53 <mk2soldier> ecelis: I’m still experimenting with a simple hello world c program, but I’ve problem executing it on the target platform, it says: “no such file or directory”. This is the output of the file command: “ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.16, not stripped” the strange thing is that if I run the ldd command it says: “not a dynamic executable”

14:54 <mk2soldier> maybe there are some gcc flags I must pass to the cross-compiler?

14:54 <mk2soldier> sorry for my bad english

14:56 <ecelis> mk2soldier: you need to write shorter sentences...

14:56 <ecelis> let me see if I get it, you souccesfully cross compile hello world

14:57 <mk2soldier> I’ve also tried the same toolchain in various systems: GNU/Linux OSX Windows

14:57 <mk2soldier> ecelis: oh ok

14:57 <ecelis> then you copy the resulting binary to yout board

14:57 <mk2soldier> exactly

14:57 <ecelis> what command do you use to run your program?

14:57 <ecelis> something like ./hello

14:57 <ecelis> ?

14:57 <mk2soldier> in bash shell I type ./a.out (a.out is the name of the program)

14:58 <ecelis> and then you get "file not found"?

14:58 <mk2soldier> “no such file or directory”

15:00 <mk2soldier> Now I’m installing gcc on the cubieboard

15:01 <mk2soldier> The strange thing is that if I use the native gcc (on the cubieboard) the binary works out of the box.

15:01 <mk2soldier> I get “Hello World”

15:02 <ecelis> that is not strange at all

15:02 <ecelis> can you share your helloworld.c code?

15:02 <mk2soldier> Ok

15:03 <ecelis> I'll try to build it with my cross compiler toolchain and then try to run it on my CB2

15:03 <mk2soldier> I’ve uploaded it here: http://pastebin.com/1x2BSJW9

15:04 <mk2soldier> ecelis: Thank you for your time and patience..

15:04 <ecelis> ok, give me some time to build and test

15:05 <mk2soldier> This is the output of ldd of the native binary: http://pastebin.com/jgQawk9a

15:05 <mk2soldier> Ok

15:08 <mk2soldier> I’m simply using this command to create the binary: arm-none-linux-gnueabi-gcc hello-world.c

15:12 <ecelis> mk2soldier: this is what I did

15:12 <mk2soldier> And it worked?

15:12 <ecelis> export PATH=/opt/Linaro/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.7-2013.04-20130415_linux/bin:$PATH

15:13 <ecelis> arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc hello.c

15:13 <ecelis> then I copied the resulting binary and ./a.out

15:13 <ecelis> and it worked

15:13 <mk2soldier> Oh

15:14 <mk2soldier> Could it be that I’m using this toolchain: http://www.mentor.com/embedded-software/sourcery-tools/sourcery-codebench/editions/lite-edition ?

15:14 <ecelis> note which version of compiler I am using, also I have fedora 19 running on the CB2

15:14 <ecelis> mmm I don't think the tool chain is bad for you

15:14 <ecelis> I also have a CodeSourcery toolchain

15:14 <ecelis> I can try with that

15:15 <mk2soldier> Oh, ok thank you very much!

15:15 <ecelis> yes, it worked also

15:16 <ecelis> export PATH=/opt/CodeSourcery/arm-2012.03/bin:$PATH

15:16 <ecelis> that is the code sourcery tool cahin I'm using

15:16 <ecelis> I can send you the resulting binaries so you can try on your CB2

15:17 <mk2soldier> That would be great!

15:17 <mk2soldier> Do you need a mail address?

15:18 <ecelis> no, I'll upload them to a server and I 'll give you a link

15:18 <ecelis> wait

15:18 <mk2soldier> Ok

15:19 <ecelis> http://ecelis.sdf.org/hello-linaro

15:19 <ecelis> and hello-cs

15:20 <mk2soldier> Downloaded, thank you!

15:23 <mk2soldier> Ha! hello-cs doesn’t works but hello-linaro it does

15:24 <mk2soldier> “-bash: ./hello-cs: No such file or directory”

15:24 <mk2soldier> “cubie@cubieboard:~$ ./hello-linaro

15:24 <mk2soldier> Hello World”

15:24 <mk2soldier> Uhm, I have the feeling that I’m missing something..

15:25 <mk2soldier> If it could help I’m running cubian-r5 with Linux 3.4.79

15:25 <mk2soldier> Maybe it is libraries fault?

17:09 <mk2soldier> ecelis: Hi!
