Arcom Embedded Linux Technical Manual Developing software for AEL
Newer versions of many distributions ship with LSB version > 1.3. In such case, you
can simply add a symbolic link as:
# cd /lib
#ln -sf ld-lsb.so.2 ld-lsb.so.1
or
#ln -sf ld-lsb.so.3 ld-lsb.so.1
(whichever appropriate as per LSB version provided by your distribution.)
If you are still unable to install the host environment but you know that your chosen
distribution supports the LSB version 1.3, please contact Arcom to discuss support for
your chosen distribution. Alternatively, install a supported distribution that includes
support for the LSB.
The AEL host environment requires up to 150MB of disk space when installed, but may
require up to 500MB during the installation process.
Installing the AEL host environment
To install the host environment, mount the CD and run (as root) the script install, which
is located in the top folder of the CD. Pass any options required for your distribution, as
described in the preceding section. For example (assuming your distribution is
configured to mount CDs on /mnt/cdrom):
# mount /mnt/cdrom
# perl /mnt/cdrom/install
Some Linux distributions are configured to disallow execution of applications on
removable media such as a CD, hence we call perl directly.
Once you have installed the host environment, you must add the folder /opt/arcom/bin
to your path and the folder /opt/arcom/share/man to your manual path. You can do this
temporarily for the current login session by running the following commands:
$ export PATH="/opt/arcom/bin:$PATH"
$ export MANPATH=”/opt/arcom/share/man:$MANPATH”
Alternatively, you can cause these commands to take effect for all login sessions for a
particular user by adding them to the file .bash_profile in that user’s home directory.
