I am trying to compile microwindows for the webpal. The cross compilation goes fine and I transfer the demo program to the webpal. When I try to run it I get a message that says no such file or directory. Some other programs that I have downloaded from Debian give me the same message. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?
thanks

Does it give you the name of the file it can't find?
Could be that your PATH isn't set up correctly (the current directory is usually not included in $PATH. This is different from DOS, Windoze, and some other OSes).
Could be that there are DLLs for which you have the "stub" library on your development system, but not the "real" library on the Webpal.

Try running ldd against "demo" to look for missing libraries.
Maybe there's a sample app or an essential config file it's looking for: if it's just using "perror()", without supplying the name of that file, the message could give the false impression that "demo" is what's missing.

I ran ldd on the file but it says that it is not a dynamic file. I would think that it's my cross compiling except that if I copy the ping program from debian it does the same thing. This makes me think that there is something wrong on the webpal, but the busybox from bigbrd runs fine.

Turns out that it was the libraries. I compiled microwindows natively on my linux box and ran ldd on that. I then copied the required libraries to the webpal. Now it says that it can't initialise the keyboard. Oh well, I will keep at it. Thanks for all your help.
