Hi everyone, I'm new to zeromq. So far I like what I see. I've been searching though the list on cross-compiling and I don't think I found a final solution for the powerpc. I just wanted to throw out what has worked for me, and hopefully someone will find it helpful.
Below is an example of cross-compiling zeromq 2.1.x, hwserver.cpp and hwclient.cpp (from the zguide) for the ppc440. My Setup: Build Host: Ubuntu 11.04 64-Bit Cross Compiler: Embedded Linux Development Kit 4.2 (ELDK) Target: PPC405/PPC440 found in Xilinx Virtex 4 and 5 FPGA's --this was tested on a Xilinx ML507 board. Commands: ##setup the cross compiler source /opt/eldk-4.2/eldk_init ppc_4xxFP #setup the build directories and get the source mkdir -p zmq/staging/bin cd zmq git clone https://github.com/zeromq/zeromq2-1.git git clone https://github.com/imatix/zguide.git #configure zeromq and make it cd zeromq2-1 ./autogen.sh ./configure --host=powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu CC=powerpc-linux-gcc \ CXX=powerpc-linux-g++ --with-cpp --with-chat --without-documentation make cd .. ##install into a 'staging' directory make -C zeromq2-1 DESTDIR=`pwd`/staging install #cross compile the apps - point to the area where zmq was installed powerpc-linux-g++ ./zguide/examples/C++/hwserver.cpp \ -o ./staging/bin/hwserver -I./staging/usr/local/include/ \ -L./staging/usr/local/lib -lzmq -lpthread -luuid powerpc-linux-g++ ./zguide/examples/C++/hwclient.cpp \ -o ./staging/bin/hwclient -I./staging/usr/local/include/ \ -L./staging/usr/local/lib -lzmq -lpthread -luuid note: ELDK all ready provided the cross compile pthread and uuid libs At this point, I rebuilt my ramdisk and copy over the contents from ./staging into the root of my ramdisk. I also needed to set the search library search path in the embedded system. Booting up my embedded linux board and executing the apps we see: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib /bin/hwserver & /bin/hwclient Connecting to hello world server... Sending Hello 0... Received Hello Received World 0 Sending Hello 1... Received Hello <snip> Thanks everyone and keep up the great work! gary _______________________________________________ zeromq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zeromq.org/mailman/listinfo/zeromq-dev
