Public bug reported: Binary package hint: qemu
qemu 0.11 is supposed to have eabi support in qemu-arm. to easily use a an armel chroot under x86 similar to the variant described in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/BuildEABIChroot the following is necessary: 1) register qemu-arm(-static) with binfmt misc properly with update-binfmts (see below) 2) build a static version of qemu-arm so the binary can be copied into an arm chroot it would be nice to have a configure call similar to: ./configure --prefix=/usr --target-list=arm-linux-user --static in debian/rules that spits out a static version of qemu-arm, then have a qemu-arm-static deb package with the postinst and prerm scripts below: postinst needs: configure) if [ "$1" = configure ] && [ -x /usr/sbin/update-binfmts ]; then /usr/sbin/update-binfmts --import armel fi ;; prerm needs: if [ "$1" = remove ] && [ -x /usr/sbin/update-binfmts ]; then /usr/sbin/update-binfmts --package qemu-arm-static \ --remove arm /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static fi the imported armel file which needs to be in /usr/share/binfmts/ should have the following content: package qemu-arm-static interpreter /usr/bin/qemu-arm-static flags: OC offset 0 magic \x7fELF\x01\x01\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x02\x00\x28\x00 mask \xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\x00\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff\xfe\xff\xff\xff ** Affects: qemu (Ubuntu) Importance: Wishlist Assignee: Dustin Kirkland (kirkland) Status: New ** Affects: qemu (Debian) Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown ** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Dustin Kirkland (kirkland) -- please build a static version of qemu-arm 0.11.x in a separate binary deb https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/401782 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
