Have you ever wished you could just export a binary and it's supporting libs. Or at the very least some likely candidate supporting libs.

well I did (and so did Brian...)

For the 2 3 4 Touch and Paperwhite (INSIDE A DEBIAN)
(or even on your desktop via a qemu-arm-static chroot)

copying /mnt/us/bin/nano to /mnt/us/export/nano/bin/nano
Searching 937 user libs, 85 libs, 17 extended dirs

libncurses.so.5
kindle supported at /usr/lib/libncurses.so.5
/usr/lib support detected

libc.so.6
kindle supported at /lib/libc.so.6
/lib support detected

Export complete at /mnt/us/export/nano ensure you run nano like: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=../lib ./nano

If you don't know what this is for you don't need it.

Everyone likes a good bash improvement thread. feel free to pick holes.

THIS VERSION WAS PROVIDED BY BRIAN

IT EXPECTS TO LIVE INSIDE A DEBIAN

With the kindle libs bind mounted like:
mount --bind /usr/lib /mnt/us/debian/kindle/usr/lib
mount --bind /lib /mnt/us/debian/kindle/lib
