Hello,
I would like to cross-compile a D program from a x86 machine to
an ARM target.
I work on GNU/Linux Ubuntu 64-bit.
I have an ARM gcc toolchain, which I can use to make programs
on an ARM Cortex-A9 architecture running a Linux kernel 3.4.11+.
I managed to build and install LLVM 3.8.1 with LDC 1.1-alpha1,
which works fine to build and run native programs.
I read some documentation here:
http://wiki.dlang.org/Minimal_semihosted_ARM_Cortex-M_%22Hello_World%22
... but it seems to target bare-metal programming, whereas I
already have a GNU/Linux running on my ARM target and want to
use it. It does noty tell how to have an LDC with ARM backend.
So I'm a bit confused of what the current state of LDC+ARM is.
For example, is the run-time fully ported on ARM/Linux?
What would be the steps to have an LDC cross-compiling to ARM?
Thanks
Hi,
LDC on Linux ARM is fairly complete. I think it is a fully
supported platform (all tests are passing). Check in
https://wiki.dlang.org/Compilers the LDC column.
This is the close for a tutorial for cross-compiling
https://wiki.dlang.org/Build_LDC_for_Android builds.
