| | Detailed how-to: Cross-compiling for Sharp Zaurus |
 | | In this how-to article, Peter Seebach discusses the initial setup of a cross compilation environment (using the Sharp Zaurus handheld as focus) and covers the installation of tools, basic compilation, installing programs on the handheld, and such advanced issues as building programs that use configure scripts. | | | Cross compilation occurs when a compiler running on one system produces executables for another system -- this is an important concept when the target system doesn't have a native set of compilation tools, or when the host system is faster or has greater resources. | | | When the host system (the one the compiler is running on) and the target system (the one the resulting programs will run on) are not compatible environments, the process is called cross compilation. |

| | Scratchbox - Cross-compilation and Cross-configuration Explained |
| | Usually people understand cross-compilation as compiling a program for a CPU architecture different from the one used on the machine where the compilation is done. | | | Configure is meant to ease configuring the software for compilation and its default assumption is that the software will be run in the same environment in which it was compiled in and run from the place where it was installed to. | | | We have solved the problem by sandboxing the software configuration, compilation, building and testing into an environment that is exactly the same (where it matters to software being configured) as on the target device. |

| | Cross-Compiling Hint [was Re: updated smp.txt] |
| | If your Compilation and Target mchines are networked using nfs (see the NFS Hint) then you can use nfs to mount the Target machines' filestore on the Compilation machine, then chroot it to protect your Compilation system. | | | Terminology Cross-Compiling Technically, cross-compiling means compiling on one computer architecture to run on another. | | | Scheduling CPU types differ in the the way that instructions are pipelined, the compiler attempts to schedule the instructions it generates in a way that is most efficient. |

| | Supporting Cross-compilation |
| | To support this, configure must be carefully written both to support cross-compilation and to provide for a way to specify the results that would have been determined by running a program. | | | In the cross compilation case, either a different compiler may be used, the user can prebuild the program, or all of the necessary data can be supplied through environment variables. | | | The second kind of values provide information about the compiler, such as options for generating optimized code or for creating object files for shared libraries. |

| | Cross-compilation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | For many embedded systems, cross-compilation is simply the only possible way to build programs, as the target hardware does not have the resources or capabilities. | | | For example, consider cross-compiling a video game that will run on the Dreamcast. | | | The target platform usually only applies to compilers as it represents what type of object code the package itself will produce (such as cross-compiling a cross-compiler); otherwise the target platform setting is irrelevant. |

| | configure.info-2 |
| | A cross compilation tool is a tool which runs on one system and produces code which runs on another system. | | | When it is necessary to distinguish this case from the cross compilation case, such a compiler is called a "native compiler". | | | Similarly, we speak of native assemblers, etc. Although the debugger is not strictly speaking a compilation tool, it is nevertheless meaningful to speak of a cross debugger: a debugger which is used to debug code which runs on another system. |
