Linux/am5749 how to build Midnight commander

Oleg Solovev
Expert 1985 points

Hello!

Dear customer service....I know this is not your product but Linux is a flexible system that should support the installation and assembly of third-party programs.

I am a beginner and I would like you to show how to build and install programs for Arago Linux.

This is a good example not only for me, but also for many newbies who have little experience with Linux. This makes it possible not to be afraid to use fresh technical solutions of the company, as well as find new customers for products and train new specialists.
For example I have a souce code which I download from official website.
1.I unpack it and go to this directory
2.then I should run command: ./configure
3. I do: make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabihf-

4.make install DESTDIR=<Directory of installation>

When I try to move it on my devboard and try to run It doesn't work. I cant understand the reason
 
Best Regards,
Oleg

    Hi Oleg,

    Your description seems to indicate the absence of a run time dependency on the target or you are missing running some additional service while running the application.

    Addition of a 3rd party program is pretty simple and any third party programs can be integrated into Linux and Arago Linux is no exception.

    1. The best way to achieve this is to work with the 3rd party community (in this case Midnight Commander) and find if they have a Yocto recipe.
    2. Next you can add this Yocto recipe into the build option and "bitbake" the recipe.
    3. The reason for this suggested approach is that there are several build and run time dependencies and Yocto is a clean way of satisfying all of these dependencies.

    This is the most generic direction that we can provide. I request you to work with the 3P/Community to get the Yocto recipe, layer information and build steps for the same.

    Regards
