"cannot execute binary file: Exec format error"

[lina]

hi,
I can execute qt program created by 32 bit Qt-creator software on rpi3 but when I execute programs compiled by 64 bit Qt software on rpi3, I've got this error
"cannot execute binary file: Exec format error"
I compiled qt5.8 by 64 bit gcc arm compiler but I can't execute programs compiled by 64 bit qt-creator software. How to resolve this problem?

Hi,

Is you RPi running a 64bit system ?

What does file name_of_your_application return ?

Small clarification, which Operating system is used in RPI3.
If it is Rasbian OS , Rasbian is a 32 bit operating system.

Cannot run 64bit application on 32 bit Operating system.

Check your OS 32bit or 64 bit by running $uname -a in terminal.

Hi dear SGaist,

file myApp returns as follow:

myApp: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, x86-64, version 1 (GNU/Linux), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2, for GNU/Linux 2.6.32, BuildID[sha1]=183a9aff7892cd7c5a7ecbaa95fcce4e152971a4, not stripped

Is there any way to fix it?

HI @lina

Previously faced same error if symbolic links of a library are not copied properly from host to target.
Its suggested that libraries & its symbolic link libs need to compressed from host, uncompress at target.

@lina you still haven't answered the question about the Linux distribution you are running on your RPi3

@SGaist

The distribution is raspbian-Jessie

So as @yuvaram wrote, you are using a 32bit operating system, it won't be able to run your 64bit application.
