coconut is asking "Hi, I'm trying to build euphoria on my Efika Mx (ARM v7l). "
He is being advised thusly:
Incorrect. He has not been advised to use the following eubin:
The "official build" you are advising him to use is
"eubin-arm-cortex-a8-2012-01-13-ee49c6b8a340.tar.gz"
He has been advised to use an eubin (but not necessarily an official one, as sadly the official eubins for linux are out of date), and he has successfully run an unofficial eubin: http://openeuphoria.org/forum/m/121251.wc
Surely by now, and after all the discussion about Euphoria on tablets, you should have realized that ARM V7 hardware WILL NOT WORK with software designed for ARM Cortex A8
I've read that the ARM Cortex A8 is under the ARMv7 family:
http://wanderingcoder.net/2010/07/19/ought-arm/
Subsequent devices used ARM11 as well, up until the iPhone 3GS which started using the Cortex A8 processor core, used in all iOS devices released since then at the time of this writing (this is not yet certain, but strongly suspected, in the case of the iPhone 4). This core implements the ARMv7 instruction set, or in short, supports ARMv7.
With that in mind, we do have coconut's report on this thread that it didn't work - but the difference might have been an ABI issue, or hard vs soft floats, etc... (that is, a software and not a hardware issue).
Update, I found a eubins in the wiki that works on my efikamx , but I can build because of bug into maps.e and cmdline.e I opened tickets for those bugs 860,861,862.
