Hi there. Hopefully an easy question but I'm stumped. How do I install the armel softfp libc6 on a new Precise armhf install?
I set APT::Architectures to { "armel" } and then tried a apt-get install libc6:armel but I get errors about the package not matching the host architecture.
echo 'foreign-architecture armel' >>/etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg.d/multiarch echo 'deb [arch=armel] http://ports.ubuntu.com/ precise main universe' >/etc/apt/sources.list.d/armel.list apt-get update apt-get install libc6:armel
not tested, should work
Where should this be documented so others can find it when they are trying to do the same as Michael?
It's not official, but I have a page on patching a multiarch system so you can build GCC: https://wiki.linaro.org/MichaelHope/Sandbox/MultiarchWorkarounds
and it now has a note on installing other libcs. Matthias is working on upstreaming the multiarch patch which will eliminate the first three, and my hard float loader patch fixes the fourth.
