libQt5MultimediaWidgets: Invalied ELF header


I am getting error: invalid ELF header. Before that I copied armhf compiled libraries from my VM CrossCompile machine to my target machine directory where linker is searching for it. Can anyone point me to where to find solution? Why this happened with .so library?

It tells me that file is data, nothing more.

which file did you check? and where (on which host) did you try it? If it was data, nothing more it cannot be a .so library.

I checked info about file on my BeagleBone target machine running Debian Jessie 8.2 with command:

file libQt5MultimediaWidgets.so.5 and it gives me answer:

libQt5MultimediaWidgets.so.5 data

How this can help me with my problem: "Invalid ELF header"?

that means that is not a valid so file. So you can now check where is it from...
