UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi Ive been trying for days now and i just cannot work this out.

Can someone please tell me if im doing this right.

I've written some python3.3 code and now i want to transfer it to an embedded computer to execute.

My OS is a : Debian GNU/Linux 6.0.7 (squeezez) 32-bit kernel


The target computer is : Linux 2.6.9 32bit cpu.
Compiler gcc 3.3.2

So i have the .py files. I install cx_freeze with python3.3.

I then use cxfreese file.py, which create a folder called dist with a bunch of files and a executable.

Now from my understanding everything it needs to run is inside that folder?
So how come when i transfer over to the target computer it says " cannot execute binary file"

is this todo with them haveing diffrent compilers? how do i update the target computers compiler when there is no apt-get or dpkg facility?

Please someone save

Have you checked the file mode of the transferred file? Maybe it just lacks an x-bit?

Code:

chmod [o|u|g]+x /path/to/file

I hope this helps.
