Hi guys,
I've been researching for quite some time now, and there are people who made kinda sorta similar questions but the response they get does not work for me.
I have Arch installed on my RaspBerry Pi 2 with the latest built Kernel. and I am working with a library that the documentation says It requires a Softfp system.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')Type: Linux OS
Endian: Little
Float ABI: Soft
GNU C Library: 2.10 or more

Softfp Library on a Hardfp system

During my research, I found this statement:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'V')FP hardware floating-point support using the soft-float ABI. This is selected by the -mfloat-abi=softfp option. When you select this variant, the compiler generates VFP floating-point instructions, but the resulting code uses the same call and return conventions as code compiled with software floating point.
I have tried compiling my code with the arguments:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', ' -mtune=cortex-a9 -mfpu=neon-mfloat-abi=softfp')
but it fails with "gnu/stubs-soft.h: No such file or directory"
If the above quote is true, Where can I get that header file??
If the quote is NOT true, That means I need to compile Arch with Softfp right?
I also heard that the kernel does not even use floating points but does it make a difference compiling the kernel with softfp?
I'm a bit new to all this but I know I can tackle anything if I have the right information, I also don't want to go so deep into the rabbit hole and spend a few days and realize that I just wasted all that time.
Thanks,
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
