Cross-compilation of bsdapp on Ubuntu

Cross-compilation of bsdapp on Ubuntu

[Ravi Kerur]

Hi,

Has anyone successfully cross compiled bsdapp on Ubuntu or other linux
flavor? From the Linux documentation I see

"To compile all 64-bit targets using gcc, use:

make install T=x86_64*gcc"

which makes me believe that bsdapp can be cross-compiled.

I am trying to understand what GNU libraries and other toolchain
related installation has to be done on Linux in order to get bsd
successfully compiled.  Inputs appreciated.

Thanks,

Ravi

Actually, I think it's just that that bit got missed in the documentation update
when we added bsd support. :-)
I'm not aware of anyone who has successfully built a bsdapp dpdk application on
linux or vice-version.

You're not going to be able to cross compile bsd on a linux system or vice versa
unless you install system level compat libs to handle all the OS-specific
library calls.  Those exist, but its usually not worth the effort to do so.
Just as easy/easier to install a virt guest with the appropriate operating
system.
