OK, so first of all I know that this can be compiled on iOS (armv7) because I read the documentation. However, I can't find the right toolchain.
So, now, what toolchains I've already tried:
i686-apple-darwin10-cpp-4.2.1
i686-apple-darwin10-g++-4.2.1
i686-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1
The above cross-compiles to x86 (I'm on i386). Works fine. But I don't need it
arm-apple-darwin10-cpp-4.2.1
arm-apple-darwin10-g++-4.2.1
arm-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1
The above compiles fine, but doesn't cross compile to arm as I would have expected, instead, it simply compiles to my current arch.
I'm a real beginner in this matter, in fact this is my first attempt to cross-compile something.
UPDATE:
Here are the commands that I've tried(this is for armv6; armv7 is similar):
configure:
../llvm/configure --host=arm-apple-darwin6 --target=arm-apple-darwin6
--build=i386-apple-darwin --enable-optimized --disable-debug
--disable-expensive-checks --disable-doxygen --disable-threads
env vars:
export DEVROOT=/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer
export SDKROOT=$DEVROOT/SDKs/iPhoneOS$IOS_BASE_SDK.sdk
export CFLAGS="-arch armv6 -pipe -no-cpp-precomp -isysroot $SDKROOT -miphoneos-version-min=$IOS_DEPLOY_TGT -I$SDKROOT/usr/include/"
export CPP="$DEVROOT/usr/bin/arm-apple-darwin10-cpp-4.2.1"
export CXX="$DEVROOT/usr/bin/arm-apple-darwin10-g++-4.2.1"
export CXXCPP="$DEVROOT/usr/bin/arm-apple-darwin10-cpp-4.2.1"
export CC="$DEVROOT/usr/bin/arm-apple-darwin10-gcc-4.2.1"
export LD=$DEVROOT/usr/bin/ld
export AR=$DEVROOT/usr/bin/ar
export AS=$DEVROOT/usr/bin/as
export NM=$DEVROOT/usr/bin/nm
export RANLIB=$DEVROOT/usr/bin/ranlib
export LDFLAGS="-L$SDKROOT/usr/lib/"
export CPPFLAGS=$CFLAGS
export CXXFLAGS=$CFLAGS
UPDATE : The purpose of this cross compile is to make an armv7(armv6) library not a command line tool.
YET ANOTHER UPDATE: I used the following:
CC="$DEVROOT/usr/bin/clang"
CXX="$DEVROOT/usr/bin/clang++"
./llvm/configure --host=i386-apple-darwin --target=armv7-apple-darwin --build=armv7-apple-darwin --enable-optimized --disable-debug --disable-expensive-checks --disable-doxygen --disable-threads --enable-targets=arm
And I managed to get checking whether we are cross compiling... yes
out of the configure
tool. However, make
still outputs a x86_64 binary:(
There are two main ways to have a cross-compiler: When you have extracted your cross-compiler from a zip file into a directory, you have to use --sysroot=<path> . The path is the root directory where you have unpacked your file, and Clang will look for the directories bin , lib , include in there.
A cross-compiler is a compiler where the target is different from the host. A toolchain is the set of compiler + linker + librarian + any other tools you need to produce the executable (+ shared libraries, etc) for the target. A debugger and/or IDE may also count as part of a toolchain. So.
Clang can be configured to use one of several different linkers: GNU ld. GNU gold. LLVM's lld.
In principle your configure invocation looks good. I'm trying to shoot a few typical mistakes:
