Subject: No cross-compiling instructions on INSTALL
Date: Sat, 13 Mar 2021 20:41:06 +0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f3166e9e-0616-948a-2236-7f169976d035@gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
I'm just skimming through INSTALL, and I didn't find any mention to
cross-compiling Git. I think it would be nice to add such instructions to
INSTALL, or to separate INSTALL_CROSS.
The idea of cross-compiling is to compile Git targeting different architecture
and/or OS than build machine (for example, compiling for ARM on x86(_64).
Note that for cross-compiling we need a cross-compiler targeting the desired
target, and for binary compatibility with rest of target system, we need
versions of compiler, libc, and binutils match the ones on the target.
Thanks.
