Spring on ARM

Note: currently it doesn't compile at many places. some of them can maybe fixed by changing compiler flags. Also the emulation is horrible slow, so better get a real arm computer.

Setting up a virtualized environment for arm on ubuntu

see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM/RootfsFromScratch

   sudo apt-get install qemu-system rootstock
   sudo rootstock \
         --fqdn ubuntu \
         --login ubuntu \
         --password ubuntu \
         --imagesize 3G \
         --seed openssh-server,linux-image-omap \
         --notarball

  mv qemu-armel-*.img qemu-armel.img
  mkdir tmp
  sudo mount -o loop qemu-armel.img tmp
  echo "auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp" >> tmp/etc/network/interfaces
  sudo umount tmp
  rmdir tmp
  wget http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/lucid/main/installer-armel/current/images/versatile/netboot/vmlinuz

start with:

qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -cpu cortex-a8 -kernel ./vmlinuz \
        -hda qemu-armel.img -m 256 -append "root=/dev/sda" \
        -net nic -net user,hostfwd=tcp::2222-:22

login with ubuntu:ubuntu

or with

ssh ubuntu@localhost -p 22222

install required build tools

sudo apt-get install build-essentials cmake
sudo apt-get install libglew1.6-dev libsdl1.2-dev libdevil-dev libopenal-dev \
libogg-dev libvorbis-dev libfreetype6-dev p7zip-full libxcursor-dev \
libboost-thread1.46-dev libboost-regex1.46-dev libboost-system1.46-dev \
libboost-program-options1.46-dev libboost-signals1.46-dev

since here it should be possible to follow the linux build instructions.
