You could use the build notes here to create your own extension repo.tinycorelinux.net/13.x/x86_64/tcz/src/xdotool

Hi Juanito,
I am using piCore, and while my kernel is aarch64, the userland and extensions require 32-bit (armv7) binaries.

Code: [Select]

$ uname -m
aarch64

Code: [Select]

$ file /bin/busybox
/bin/busybox: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, ARM, EABI5 version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 4.9.22, dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-linux-armhf.so.3, no section header
Because of this 32-bit environment, the xdotool extension from the aarch64 repository (http://www.tinycorelinux.net/17.x/aarch64/tcz/) unfortunately did not work on my system.

I couldn't find the Source in the repository of armv7. Would it be possible to build and upload the xdotool extension to the armv7 repository as well? That would be incredibly helpful!
Thank you very much, and sorry for the trouble.

Just a quick update: I managed to compile the tool directly from  (https://github.com/jordansissel/xdotool), and it works perfectly on my system!

Please find the xdotool.tcz extension attached to this message. You are welcome to upload it directly to the official repository so that other piCore users can benefit from it as well.

Thank you so much for your support!

Thanks - did you use the standard piCore flags to compile it?

git clone https://github.com/jordansissel/xdotool.git
cd xdotool

make CC=arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc


mkdir -p /tmp/xdotool-build/usr/local

make install PREFIX=/tmp/xdotool-build/usr/local


mksquashfs /tmp/xdotool-build /tmp/optional/xdotool.tcz -b 4096


md5sum xdotool.tcz > xdotool.tcz.md5.txt

# 3. Aufräumen
