Is it possible to convert/recompile an already compiled x86 binary into an ARM binary?I'm using a BeagleBoard with a command-line Ubuntu (Maverick) and want to run a Ventrilo server but the x86 executable they supply cannot be run on the hardware as far as I can tell (most likely due to differing architecture).Unfortunately I don't have access to the source to allow me to recompile it natively.

I prefer the put the version info during build step.
I am going to order the parts and build a new PC soon. One goal I have on my new machine will be to use Windows as little as possible and use Linux. In Linux I will need to use an emulator/virtual machine of some sort for things like playing World of Warcraft or City of Heroes and running Photoshop. (No, Gimp is not just as good for my needs). I plan to have 4Gb, to start, of ram and my question comes to one of processor selection. I assume that running a Windows app in Linux would be one of the most system taxing things I could do. Would I be better served by more processor cores or a higher clock speed for these tasks? I will undoubtedly have an AMD proc. I have been considering the following.
Athlon II X3 440 3.0 Ghz.
Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition 2.8 Ghz
Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition 3.2 Ghz
Athlon II X4 630 2.8 Ghz
AMD Phenom II X2 545 3.0 Ghz
I am leaning towards the X3 440 (or 435) for the sake of cost so that I can squeeze a discreet video card into my budget but that it outside the scope of my question. Extra info just in case The Black Editions are very over-clockable with unlocked CPU multipliers. The Phenom II CPUs have 6Mb of L3 cache and the Phenom II CPUs do not. The question boils down to how well Linux and Wine are multi-threaded to make use of all available cores and what impact, if any, L3 cache has in a Linux environment.
I was wondering if I would be if i able to use x86 linux distros with my 64 bit processor, or do I have to use the 64 bit version?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an old mini-desktop computer I want to have as a spare machine for internet browsing and checking email. It has a copy of XP currently, but the previous owner didn't put the key in so I can't get onto it at all. I plan on putting linux on it, just not sure what it can handle. It has 384 megs of RAM I believe, and the processor is a via C3, so I'm not even sure if I can run linux on it. I've checked the faqs and googled a bit, but I can't tell if it's i486, i586, or one of those things, and I'm not sure what linux distros(if any) are compatible. Will linux mint be able to run on a 900mhz processor of this sort and 384 megs of RAM? I'm thinking no, but it's the only linux distro I've dabbled with before. If not, will ubuntu? Will opensuse?

Quote:
$ modprobe -r processor FATAL: Module processor is in use.
How can I do it?
I guess it's natural. Processor module allows the cpu to go to C1-C3 states (in my case). It may be possible to do it brutally, by running a superfluous process to force C0, but I'd like a sophisticated way.
The reason I'd like it is I'm troubleshooting hibernation (s2disk). According to [URL], it's worth trying.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have quite an old laptop using an XP OS with an Intel(R)Pentium(R)M processor, 1400MHz 1.40GHz,with 504 MB of RAM,and with Service Pack 3. (this info was taken off the system properties info) I have recently been given a new HD Digital camera which needs a Pentium 4 or above on Windows XP for the software to work. As I said I'm not very good with this sort of thing so have searched for information about the subject, but not had much luck so far understanding the terminoligy used. That's how I came to this website. what the difference is between these two OS, also if my laptop system is compatable with a pentium 4 or not is it more or less that a pentium 4.

is there a way to retrieve the processor model without taking information from bios? I don't know which processor is really mounted. I want to set up the right processor timing, but I don't know the processor type. Every time I change the timing for the processor in BIOS another processor type is determined (I should be an Athlon XP +1500, I think, but I don't know really).
I think with less /proc/cpuinfo the results depends on the timing that is set in bios. So could you tell me how I can find out which processor is really mounted?

Trying to setup a new Ubuntu machine and just downloaded 'p4' (Perforce command line client). It's a single file download - a statically-linked binary executable, so I just did:

I'll be using a specific example, but really this generalizes to pretty much any binary on linux that can't seem to find its' dependent libraries. So, I have a program that won't run because of missing libraries:
./cart5: error while loading shared libraries: libcorona-1.0.2.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
ldd sheds some light on the issue:
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff18b01000)
libcorona-1.0.2.so => not found
libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.3/libstdc++.so.6

Suppose i have some binary blobs in ~/pkg/opt, ( I created those with the standard ./configure, make, make DESTDIR=~/pkg/opt install ).Is it possible to pack this structure into an installable rpm that can be installed/uninstalled from a RHEL/CentOS system...? rpm -ivh my_package.rpm ? Doing this in Slackware is easy, as well as in Arch, one installs to a fakeroot ( pkg ), creates a PKGBUILD, and runs makepkg -R PKGBUILD, this creates an installable Arch Package. But i am not very familiar with the more fashionable package formats, *.debs and *.rpms. Can i just pack the thing from binary, or do I have to build it and pack it in the process? makepkg -R PKGBUILD just packs it if one is lazy enough to write the whole PKGBUILD.
View 1 Replies View RelatedRight now to install software from source I do a ./configure && make && make install which doesn't allow for easy uninstallation (some don't come with an 'uninstall' goal, and if they do you have to keep the source around).
