I'm working on getting my new build system up and running and with 13.10. Running any of our toolchain commands leads to "No such file or directory". I'm guessing this has to with my system being x86_64 and 13.10 no longer including ia32_libs package, but could be incorrect.
Yip. This is due to lack of /lib/ld-linux.so.2 which is included in 32-bit libc.
If this is indeed the issue, my understanding is that I need to manually install 32 bit versions of every library that's needed. Can toolchain folks comment on this? Any possibility of getting 64 bit
Yip. You have to manually install 32 bit versions of every library that's needed.
native binaries or just having a repository that we can install from and thus auto-pull the dependent 32 bit libraries?
We need support both 32-bit and 64-bit systems. Ubuntu is not the only Linux host we want to support. We also support Debian, Fedora, openSUSE and RHEL.
Just to confirm what Zhenqiang says - the requirement on the Linaro Toolchain Binaries are for them to support running on any standard Linux distro - Intel 32- and 64-bit hosts.
To keep the validation level to acceptable levels we chose to ship only 32-bit host-binaries as these will run on all systems.
What ever happened to the Linaro toolchain PPA? Surely, by hooking the Linaro periodic release directly into APT, we could dodge these dependency issues completely?
