Cannot execute fpc

[Scotty]

I want to use the Sheevaplug for an own-written game server. To compile the code I downloaded the ARM specific compiler of fpc (http://www.freepascal.org/down/arm/linux-ftp.freepascal.org.var). But fpc reports not to be a dynamic executable. Are there different ARM architectures, and how do I solve this issue?

Code: (ldd /usr/local/bin/fpc)

not a dynamic executable

Code: (file /usr/local/bin/fpc)

/usr/local/bin/fpc: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, version 1, statically linked, stripped

Code: (readelf -a /usr/local/bin/fpc)

static link just mean everything program need is already linked in. have your try run the program?

Code:

readelf -a fpc |tail -30

will give better description of what the program compile target.

[Scotty]

The difference between static vs. dynamic is known. Of couse, I tried to run the program first. Cannot execute or illegal instruction, something like that.

There many kind of ARM architectures. so you will need to get the one support arm5tel.

Good luck
