Topic: Building Armory on Raspberry Pi (Read 10059 times)
For those interested I did a complete write up on my blog: http://moritzpfeiffer.ch/.
Anyways.. have compiled armory with no errors...
running it on the pi i get the following:

The packaging instructions earlier in this thread are out of date for the current BitcoinArmory version.
I have done a successful cross compile of BitcoinArmory for Raspberry Pi and will do a complete write up and post it here in a couple of days.
To fix your error you need to do the following after compiling succeeds:
Code:
mkdir -p /tmp/BitcoinArmoryRPi/img/
mkdir -p /tmp/BitcoinArmoryRPi/extras/
mkdir -p /tmp/BitcoinArmoryRPi/jsonrpc/
mkdir -p /tmp/BitcoinArmoryRPi/dialogs/
cp *.py *.so README LICENSE /tmp/BitcoinArmoryRPi/
cp img/* /tmp/BitcoinArmoryRPi/img/
cp extras/*.py /tmp/BitcoinArmoryRPi/extras/
cp jsonrpc/*.py /tmp/BitcoinArmoryRPi/jsonrpc/
cp dialogs/*.py /tmp/BitcoinArmoryRPi/dialogs/
cd /tmp
tar cvfz BitcoinArmoryRPi.tar.gz BitcoinArmoryRPi
mkdir -p /tmp/BitcoinArmoryRPi/extras/
mkdir -p /tmp/BitcoinArmoryRPi/jsonrpc/
mkdir -p /tmp/BitcoinArmoryRPi/dialogs/
cp *.py *.so README LICENSE /tmp/BitcoinArmoryRPi/

cp dialogs/*.py /tmp/BitcoinArmoryRPi/dialogs/
cd /tmp
tar cvfz BitcoinArmoryRPi.tar.gz BitcoinArmoryRPi
Got the above fixed... there's stuff in the makefile that needs fixing... seems the script that makes the pypaths.txt doesn't make it right...
Anyways.. have compiled armory with no errors...
running it on the pi i get the following:
I have done the following:
Same error.
Then tried:

Any ideas?
Thanks!
In case anyone is still interested in compiling the Bitcoin Armory on the RPi, you can download the compiled source code from http://coldpi.com.
That is Bitcoin Armory 0.88, compiled for Raspbian.

After reading through the guide now months after i wrote it i realize its note all that clear which parts are run on you pi, and which are run on your crosscompiling computer…
I'll try to make this clearer if while I'm making the repo/gist this weekend (if i get around to it, still not making any promises
)
I'll try to make this clearer if while I'm making the repo/gist this weekend (if i get around to it, still not making any promises

but when I look at my RPI, I cannot find libpython2.7.so only libpython2.7.so.0 and libpython2.7.so.1
I've searched the entire drive high and low and these are the only files vaguely relevant.
Can anyone please advise what I can do?
Thanks

Do you get any error when you do this step? You are doing it from your crosscompiling computer and not your Pi, right?
I'll try to take some time this weekend to make a gist or repo of the entire process… not making any promises though 
Ugh, i completly forgot all about this thread…
After having a quick look I would guess that the problem is copy pasting from the forum… it adds whitespace. I've created a gist at https://gist.github.com/bektar/6725546.
Use this by creating a file inside the "BitcoinArmory" directory called "BitcoinArmory.patch" and instead of doing:
paste the raw contents in the gist into this file (please use a text editor, not a word editor).
And then go on with step "Apply the patch".
Please note, I havent tried this myself so please let me know how it goes.

Any more word on this, Bektar?
This is also confusing me, I'm pretty sure my Pi has the python libraries but they do not seem to be in that directroy... strange.
I also tried going ahead and creating the patch file but I am receiving an error there too:
(Patch is indented 3 spaces.)
patching file cppForSwig/cryptopp/Makefile
(Patch is indented 3 spaces.)

I'm getting this error too. You can fix the indentation error though by making sure that lines that begin with either a "+", "-" or "@" don't have a space at the beginning and that all the other lines do(Patch is indented 3 spaces.)

I have got up to this part...
scp -r pi@[IP_OF_PI_GOES_HERE]:/usr/lib/libpython2.7.so ~/src/Crosstool/RaspberryPi/lib
except my pi does not have a libpython2.7.so directory... Have I done something wrong?
This line worked though so I'm confused:

I'll have a look at it tonight or tomorrow and get back to you… I thought I was pretty thorough when I tested everything, but apparently I messed up somewhere

Just to make sure, you are replacing [user] with your username? If not start by doing that
In general, to change permissions in *nix you need to use the command "chmod". Perhaps in combination with "sudo" (depending on if you are the owner of the file). What you do is write
and thats it.
Please note that 777 gives read/write permissions to everyone. I believe its ok in this particular case since i expect you are going to be using this offline with no user except for yourself. In general though you should read the man pages for chmod and tailor the permissions as required.

IP_of_PI is the ip number of your Raspberry Pi, I use the command ifconfig to find it.
IP_of_PI is the Internet Protocol address of your Pi. like 192.168.0.11
Thanks for responding, bektar & whiskers75.
So, the raspberry pi would be connected to the ubuntu computer, in a closed network? I'd disconnect the ubuntu computer from the internet and connect to the raspberry pi so that the raspberry pi never touches the actual network?
Yes that would work. Or you could use a usb stick. As long as you get the files from the Pi to the Ubuntu computer any way is fine.

I assume this is why I'm copying the libpython2.7.so file from the pi? Any idea what I might be doing wrong this time?
