Thank you Michele,

This is exactly what I'm after. You specify cmake v3.6 docs ? Is it only 
working from 3.6.x ? I have 3.5.2 on my build system.

Subject: Re: [CMake] Crosscompilation woes


In my project I build on Linux i686 and I use a Toolchain file to specify the 
ARM cross-compiler

https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.6/manual/cmake-toolchains.7.html
The nice thing is that if you mark some files as "generated" CMAKE will 
automatically use the build rather than the target toolchains. For instance, I 
have a Flex/Byson compiler that is generated locally on i686 , but then 
compiled for ARM.

Regards,

Michele

Your solution will work for me I think.

Here's one possible solution (not perfect, but has been working in production 
for us for a while now for a similar scenario to what you describe):

http://stackoverflow.com/q/36084785/1938798

An alternative is a superbuild arrangement which would require a top level 
project to drive two sub-builds brought in via 
ExternalProject<https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/module/ExternalProject.html>,
 one for the host and the other for arm. This is both better and worse, 
depending on your point of view, so you may need to do some 
research/experimenting to see which is a better fit for your situation.

Hi all,

I am crosscompiling a project for arm (on linux i686), and use codegeneration 
tools within the project (together with add_custom_command). Of course, this 
will fail, since the tools are compiled for arm also and thus won't execute on 
my host system. So the tools need to be compiled for i686 whilst the rest for 
arm. I'm sure this can be handled by CMake although haven't done it before so 
would appreciate pointers :)

Regards
/Robert
