Dear people of Genode-labs,
After a long time lurking, I wanted to give it a spin.
These are my experiences:
I installed an Ubuntu-12.04-03 iso on a virtual-box vm.
I downloaded: genode-14.02.tar.bz2 and genode-toolchain-12.11-x86_64.tar.bz2
Unpacked according to instructions.
When trying the make run/demo from the 'getting started' page I get this
error:
$ make run/demo
/bin/bash: /usr/local/genode-gcc/bin/genode-x86-g++: cannot execute
binary file
and more of these for other binaries from the toolchain, eg gcc, ar, etc.
Some investigations:
$ file /usr/local/genode-gcc/bin/genode-x86-g++
/usr/local/genode-gcc/bin/genode-x86-g++: ELF 64-bit LSB executable,
x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for

$ cat /proc/version

15:31:16 UTC 2013
Compiling the tool-chain using tool/tool-chain script gave a working
compiler and a running demo!
I guess, the latest tool-chain 12.11 is out of date for the latest Ubuntu.
I hope to post more experiences later on.
With regards, Guido Witmond.
