Hi,
We (Developer Platform) are looking into making Ubuntu/Debian more cross-compile friendly. In order to decide what to focus on on first, I'd like to ask from input from you
- what would you like to be able to
cross-compile for the Linaro Ubuntu evaluation builds? We know a lot of people (everyone?) cross-compiles kernels already, and don't need help from distribution. What else do people compile often enough that cross-compiling would help?
Ok, not directly related to Linaro only, but from the armhf buildd configs:
quantlib-swig openvswitch pivy ns3 qtwebkit webkitgtk+ koffice mrpt enblend-enfuse bzr (the tests take forever) shogun gcc-4.4 gcc-4.5 gcc-4.6 libvigraimpex pdftk yade apt-cacher-ng (this for some reason doesn't seem very complicated but it starts to build everything in parallel, load avg is >50 on this package, hm, forget about this, I'll just probably file a BR on the package) rawtherapee rosegarden
Maybe not all are cross-compilable, but all these packages take almost/more than a day to build on an EfikaMX. I guess it might be faster on a pandaboard, but still having them to cross-build on a fast box would be nice.
