Hi, Thanks for your replies Riku Voipio and Catalin Marinas.
Forgive me for my ignorance, as I am new to Debian. --- Riku Voipio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > or you need to add the madplay binaries and required > libraries > before creating the cramfs image. The base.cramfs provided by ARM has the madplay binary and I was able to play mp3s. I am now trying to use a movie player on this versatile ARM926EJ-S board. I'd appreciate a step-by-step howto cross-compiling ffmpeg or any other movie player for this board. This is the what I tried: http://www.codesourcery.com/archives/arm-gnu/msg00354.html --- Catalin Marinas wrote: > The pre-built one doesn't have the dpkg database > initialised and this is why it fails. Yes, I used the pre-built base.cramfs provided at: http://www.arm.com/linux/linux_download.html As far as creating a new cramfs and adding files, there is no problem. I have tried it using: mount -o loop -t cramfs <image> <mount point> cp -r <mount point> <new directory> mkcramfs <new directory> <image name> I don't mind even if you can just send me a statically compiled movie player that can run on this board.
