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?
There should be a howto linked from http://wiki.debian.org/Multiarch but there isn't currently. I'm sure there is one somewhere but I just failed to find it. This is one of the clearest docs currently: http://suihkulokki.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/cross-compiling-with-multiarch-con...
The details are also on the linaro wiki here: https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/DevPlatform/CrossCompile/UsingMultiArch
Linked from the index page: https://wiki.linaro.org/Platform/DevPlatform/CrossCompile/CrossBuilding (which could do with an update)
Wookey
