qemu

Has anyone tried to run binaries built for other platforms on Dockstar debian?

root@Dockstar:/i386/bin# chroot /i386 /bin/qemu-i386-static -L / /bin/ls
/bin/ls: error while loading shared libraries: lib: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

with the -strace switch, I got a bunch of errors on files not found at weird locations, such as
open("/lib/tls/tls6i68e/ssm2/clib",O_RDONLY) = -1 errno=2 (No such file or directory)
open("/u/",O_RDONLY) = -1 errno=2 (No such file or directory)
open("/us",O_RDONLY) = -1 errno=2 (No such file or directory)

qemu-user-static was apt-get installed, and I extracted several i386 glibc packages into /i386/lib

Is there anything that I'm doing wrong?

Dockstar has an ARM chip. i386 binaries won't work.

Qemu is a CPU emulator. This is what is being tried here.

John Doe is right... I'm trying to run i386 binaries with a CPU emulator. There are some closed source programs that I'd really love to see running on my Dockstar.

My /i386 contains basically a mini i386 Linux distro, except for /i386/bin/qemu-i386-static, which is the only ARM binary that I copied from my qemu-user-static installation. I run qemu in a chroot, because I don't want the i386 program to load ARM libraries from paths that may have been hardcoded.

However, the above failed even for a simple i386 "ls"...
