Hi,
I am trying to cross compile my code for ARM on a Intel-Core Ubuntu OS machine, where I have some dependency on static libraries.
In that regard I want install packages required using apt-get install xxxx_pkg:arm , but it did not work
What is the correct command I have to use , or the correct procedure.
please help.
Thanks,
Ravinder Are
Hello,
apt-get install will work for packages which are available in the package archive of the Ubuntu distribution you use.
Before installing packages you should always run apt-get update which updates the package database.
Here you can find a small guide on apt:
Bitkistl: APT essentials
You can check which pre-built packages are available in Ubuntu here:
Bitkistl: Which Ubuntu packages are available for Ubuntu 14.10 armhf ?
If you want to install a package you built yourself this can be done with:
sudo dpkg -i <packagename.deb>If you really want to install your own built packages with apt-get install you could think aboutmaking an Ubuntu PPA and then add the PPA to your /etc/apt/sources.list configuration file.
What are PPAs and how do I use them? - Ask Ubuntu
