What I wrote there does still apply for basic usage. But extracting libc6 into /etc/qemu-binfmt/arm is not enough to allow a full foreign multistrap. Using my multistrap config has the advantage that you now no longer have to get the deb packages of libraries (and their dependencies) manually but apt will figure out the urls of the most recent packages for your architecture (and the dependencies) and multistrap will extract those for you. Using multistrap and not doing it manually is even more important since the amount of libraries needed for a fairly complete multistrap is as long as this list (not including dependencies): libc6 libselinux1 libacl1 man-db libstdc++6 libfreetype6 and you certainly dont want to crawl the debian pool every time you need to update /etc/qemu-binfmt/arm (which is what I did in the mail you referenced above). those libraries will allow the configuration of packages needed for a full xorg/e17 setup. It is already included in the multistrap config I posted earlier. But if at some point you get errors indicating a shared library cannot be found, you have to add the package containing that library to that list in the multistrap config and recreate the /etc/qemu-binfmt/arm directory with multistrap. cheers, josch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
