Will it make sense to have a "readme.ARM" or some other file in powertop which describes this step ? Any suggestions on how best to do this ?
Compiling natively (on target) or in a qemu-based armel environment on the desktop will be required. I'm hoping our debian friends will suggest some nifty tricks to make this easy.
xdeb cross-buildt it fine :-)
xdeb --apt-source -a armel powertop should cross-build the pre-dependencies and powertop itself and output powertop_1.11+git20091208-0ubuntu1_armel.deb which has an ARM ./usr/sbin/powertop
For this to work, you want:
- a maverick install or chroot
- hrw's cross-toolchain packages installed
- xdeb and build-essential installed
Got this setup and fixed the wiki documentation along the way.
All my xdeb builds crash and burn with the following error:
arm-linux-gnueabi-objdump: /lib/libm.so.6: File format not recognized dpkg-shlibdeps: error: arm-linux-gnueabi-objdump gave error exit status 1
I've tried grep, powertop and binutils.
I'm running this in a maverick chroot on Lucid (64-bit).
Any clues what might be going wrong?
