I found a number of references about how to build Armory for the Raspberry Pi. I followed this http://www.bootc.net/archives/2012/05/26/how-to-build-a-cross-compiler-for-your-raspberry-pi/ and https://gist.github.com/FiloSottile/3646033.

I am getting:

  File "/home/pi/BitcoinArmory-0.92.3-rpi/CppBlockUtils.py", line 24, in swig_import_helper
    _mod = imp.load_module('_CppBlockUtils', fp, pathname, description)
ImportError: /home/pi/BitcoinArmory-0.92.3-rpi/_CppBlockUtils.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This is caused by invalid compiler setup. So the link about creating a working cross compiler is wrong.
The generated .so file cannot be loaded .. so far so good.

So now I am building a cross compiler using this: http://elinux.org/RPi_Linaro_GCC_Compilation
Hopefully it will be able to create shared libraries which can be loaded on the RPI. Smiley

I just created this thread in case other people have similar issues. I guess that I should have spent more time researching before starting to build using crosstool. Wink
