PixL Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 What is the general process to cross compile things for use on Pineapples and Squirrels? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just_a_User Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 I recently started to look with the intention to learn a little, I haven't done anything yet though. I found some interesting resources/tools that may help with MIPS from x86 : - https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/build https://github.com/airplug/airplug/wiki/Cross-compiling-for-OpenWRT http://www.kegel.com/crosstool/ & https://buildroot.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recently compiled a hi-world program and attempt to run on mips but failed as expected... Can you setup a vm specifically for cross compiling?

Foxtrot Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 All instructions needed for cross compiling to OpenWRT are at https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/devel/crosscompile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could compile on the device, but it would take too long. Best way is to use the buildroot and cross-compile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PixL Posted December 23, 2017 Author Share Posted December 23, 2017 Ok i'll have to devote a little time to getting the build root working, thanks for the advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i8igmac Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I spent 30 minutes trying to compile openssl on the pi b+. Then the wife shut it down... all was lost... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
