Question

Background : Trying to setup a cross compiler environment for arm target (TQ2440/Mini2440)

On HOST running Red Hat:

1. Wrote a simple hello program
2. gcc -o hello hello.c
3. compiles successfully
4. ./hello
5. displays the hello world message
6. rm hello
7. arm-linux-gcc -o hello hello.c
8. file hello
9. It says 32bit compiled for ARM compatible for Linux 2.0.0

Transfer the “hello” binary file to TARGET

1. chmod a+x hello
2. ./hello

3. The problem:

   /bin/sh: ./hello: not found
   

Can anyone point out my mistake or what am I missing here?

---

I executed ldd on host: ldd hello and I got:

/usr/local/arm/3.3.2/bin/ldd: line 1:  
/usr/local/arm/3.3.2/lib/ld-linux.so.2: cannot execute binary file 
/usr/local/arm/3.3.2/bin/ldd: line 1: 
/usr/local/arm/3.3.2/lib/ld-linux.so.2: cannot execute binary file 
ldd: /usr/local/arm/3.3.2/lib/ld-linux.so.2 exited with unknown exit code (126)

Answer 1

Solved.

I was transfering the file through ftp. You need to enter bin to switch to binary transfer mode. Works fine now.
