I am currently building software for a Raspberry using a Raspberry as the build computer. It works surprisingly well. Nonetheless, I am considering setting up doing cross compiling on an intel x86 (non ARM) computer. I guess installing cross compilers and such tools from OBS is okay. I already do this for doing Windows (32- and 64-bit) cross compiling.
I also install from OBS the various libraries needed for the Windows cross compile. They are nicely put in /usr/i686-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw or /usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32/sys-root/mingw. They are not installed in the Linux /usr/bin/ or /usr/lib/ trees. Unfortunately, I am guessing this would not be the case for ARM packages (e.g., libjpeg8-8.1.2-40.2.aarch64 and libjpeg8-devel-8.1.2-40.2.aarch64). They would be installed in the /usr/bin/ or /usr/lib/ trees, as that's where they are expected to be. Which is perhaps not what I want on a cross-compiling system Am I missing some brilliant thing to get these types of things installed in some other tree? Or is cross-compiling going to be more problematic than maintaining a Raspberry to do this work? -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
