Cross compiling - How to start

[caocao]

Hi,

I have successful build the cross-toolchain as describe in http://archlinuxarm.org/developers/dist ... -compiling.
However, this instruction is quite vague and I dont know how to start to compile the source code.

I want to compile the code on my pc (fedora x86) and can deploy and run correctly on target arm v7 board (http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7 ... /odroid-u3).

My question is how to cross compiling with make file and cross-toolchain tool.

PS: I can compile the source code successfully but it's only run on my pc as normal compile.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Quang

Actual compilation is done on the target device with the help of distcc to speedup the process. Lookup distcc and what it does.

I dont have the target device now.
The question is can I compile in x86 machine with arm target (then I will deploy to the target later)?

[moonman]

You can, but we can't help you with it since we don't use it this way. It is more hassle than it's worth.

Thx for ur reply anw.
Extract from http://archlinuxarm.org/developers/dist ... -compiling
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'Y')ou can now run "makepkg" as you normally would and the hosts specified will start receiving work. If the hosts are unavailable, the package will simply compile locally.

As I said, this is designed to be run on the target device.

[caocao]

So, what is the result if the target is not available?

So you have no ARM device? If you have any ARM device with the same CPU architecture generation (ARMv5. ARMV6, ARMv7) that will suffice.

No, I have no device atm. Will have in near future
