Hi,
I’d like to iceweasel and its dependency libraries on an ARM-based
Linux device which does not have all those Debian tools. Can anyone
give me some advice on how to install it manually?
Well, there's probably a Makefile in the source code somewhere... :)
But seriously, in the past I've debootstrapped a debian environment for
the target, plugged my binaries into it, and then started rm'ing the
stuff that kept it from fitting into the hardware.
I wouldn't recommend that approach in the general case, but as a one-off
it's tolerable. Advice: take good notes, because there really never is
such a thing as a "one-off". :)
