How to cross-compile a library such as microhttpd.a?

+2 votes
299 views

I need to use microhttpd.a and pthread.a to build a cross-compiled program to be deployed on an arm-linux-gnueabihf device.

Where can I find instructions on how to do this? Or, is this simply a matter of downloading the source code and compiling (on a 64 bit UbuntuPC) to a library with my existing gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf-4.8 cross-compiler?

While I may be able to find microhttpd.a and pthread.a binaries for an arm-linux-gnueabihf device, they will likely have been built with a different version of gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf, which, I fear, could open up a can of worms.

Cross compile helloworld.c for powerpc

I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 on an intel machine and I want to cross compile helloworld.c so that the resulting binary will execute on Ubuntu on a powerpc machine.

So something simple like:

gcc helloworld.c --target powerpc-linux -o helloworldppc

But the answer seems to always come back how to cross compile gcc itself...
