Vladimir Kotikov commented on CB-6728:
--------------------------------------
Ok. let's summarize:
# User specifies architectures via -archs string parameter e.g.:
{noformat}
cordova build wp8 -archs="x86 arm"
cordova build ios -archs="armv7 arm64"
{noformat}
# Cordova will build binaries for each architecture specified.
_For discussion:_
# If one or more of architectures specified is not valid, cordova should:
## fail.
## skip invalid architecture and show warning.
I think option b is preferred because it will be possible to use `cordova
build` without specifying platform name.
# Possible architectures:
## Provide common set of chip architectures for all platforms e.g.:
{{--archs="x86 arm"}}
##* will remain unchanged for windows.
##* will be mapped to -archs="i386 armv6 armv7 armv7s"
for iOS
{{--archs="armv6 armv7"}}
##* will remain unchanged for iOS.
##* will be mapped to -archs="arm" for Windows
## Each platform should define its own architectures set corresponding to
platform's compiler flags. This set should be decribed in docs.
I'd prefer option b due to more clear code and maintainability.

> Key: CB-6728
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-6728
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: CLI, Windows 8, WP8
> Affects Versions: 3.4.0
> Reporter: Vladimir Kotikov
> Assignee: Jesse MacFadyen
> Labels: arm, cli, windows, wp8, x64, x86
>
> Currently apps for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 are targeted to AnyCPU
> architecture, which is universal, but sometimes it's critical to build
> application for specific processor architecture.
> As an example is WebSQL plugin which contains references to C++ libs so needs
> to be built for specific architecture (x84, x64, ARM) and which does not
> support AnyCPU target.
> So it looks important to add support for additional build flags `-x64`,
> `-x86`, `-arm`, '-any' to specify target chip architecture.
> {noformat}
> cordova build windows8 --release --x64
> cordova build wp8 --arm
> {noformat}
> If flag is not specified, `AnuCPU` target platform should be used by default.
