Can I know how to build lucy and lucy-clownfish for ARM (AARCH64)?
I do have the ARM cross-compiler tool chain and would like to know which
files to change?
Cross compiling Lucy isn't supported yet. I haven't tried to build Lucy on ARM
myself, but we have successful test reports from CPAN Testers with Raspberry
Pis. So, if you're feeling adventurous:
1. Build the Clownfish compiler normally for the host platform.
2. Configure the Clownfish runtime using the host compiler.
3. Edit the generated Makefile.
- Replace CC with the cross compiler.
- Check CFLAGS etc.
4. Edit the generated charmony.h file to match the target
platform.
- CHY_SIZEOF macros
- Endian macro
- Possibly other stuff
5. (Maybe) Run `make autogen/hierarchy.json` first and edit the
generated file autogen/include/cfish_platform.h to match the
target platform.
6. Run `make`. If you run into errors, adjust charmony.h or the
Makefile.
7. Make sure to make backups of Makefile, charmony.h, and
cfish_platform.h. These files might be recreated and you'll
lose your changes.
8. Repeat steps 2-7 for Lucy.
