Tim, yeah I do not know about that but using ldd as described above will pretty much tell you what your systems tools expect at any rate. On Thu, Sep 4, 2014 at 2:49 PM, Tim Cole wrote: > I have no idea why, but I've got both an arm-linux-gnueabihf directory and > an arm-linux-gnueabi (i.e no "

I have no idea why, but I've got both an arm-linux-gnueabihf directory and an arm-linux-gnueabi (i.e no "hf') directory. From what you've said, I'd guess I've installed something I shouldn't have installed. Presumably, if I check immediately after installing a new OS, I wouldn't have the problem

Heh, another way I just figured out ( never noticed it before ) is to just do . . $ ls /lib/ there is a arm-linux-gnueabihf directory and a ld-linux-armhf.so.3 file. Both of these should make it painfully obvious. On Thu, Sep 4, 2014 at 12:46 PM, William Hermans wrote: > *Find any local binar

If the architecture is armhf that's hardfloat and requires a minimum of armv5. armel is softfloat and can run on arm7tdmi (armv4). Find any local binary like /bin/ls and do an ld on it. It links to an ld library with armel or armhf in the name. You'll find armel libraries in there too along w
