Libraries(armel) for cross compiling

Where can I get compiled libraries specific architectures? My company hired some contractors开发者_StackOverflow中文版 to port some code to our powerpc platform. I am trying to move this to an arm platform(omap3).

They created a cross compiling environment(in Windows). All of the libraries that are linked at still compiled for PowerPC. For each lib there are 3 files: .so, .so.X and .so.X.Y.Z I can get the second 2 from the deb packages and I found the .so in developer deb package but it is 0 bytes.

Any help would be great.

Maybe in Angstrom?

Theres no way (that I know of) to convert a binary from machine A(power pc) into binaries for machine B(arm). If you have the source, or a way of acquiring the source, you can rebuild them for your arm target. You can accomplish this by either using a local compiler on a arm machine, or cross compile using a cross compiling tool chain (eg code sorcery lite (http://www.codesourcery.com/sgpp/lite/arm) to build libraries from your build machine onto your arm target. Most libraries are not obtainable on arm in a pre-compiled form.
Depending on what OS you're using on your arm target, eg debian or redhat. There may be a package manager available to do this for you.
