+Cross Compiling Erlang/OTP
+==========================
+
+Introduction
+------------
+
+This document describes how to cross compile Erlang/OTP-%OTP-REL%. Note that
+the support for cross compiling Erlang/OTP should be considered as
+experimental. As far as we know, the %OTP-REL% release should cross compile
+fine, but since we currently have a very limited set of cross compilation
+environments to test with we cannot be sure. The cross compilation support
+will remain in an experimental state until we get a lot more cross compilation
+environments to test with.
+
+You are advised to read the whole document before attempting to cross
+compile Erlang/OTP. However, before reading this document, you should read
+the [$ERL_TOP/HOWTO/INSTALL.md][] document which describes building and installing
+Erlang/OTP in general. `$ERL_TOP` is the top directory in the source tree.
+
+### otp\_build Versus configure/make ###
+
+Building Erlang/OTP can be done either by using the `$ERL_TOP/otp_build`
+script, or by invoking `$ERL_TOP/configure` and `make` directly. Building using
+`otp_build` is easier since it involves fewer steps, but the `otp_build` build
+procedure is not as flexible as the `configure`/`make` build procedure. Note
+that `otp_build configure` will produce a default configuration that differs
+from what `configure` will produce by default. For example, currently
+`--disable-dynamic-ssl-lib` is added to the `configure` command line arguments
+unless `--enable-dynamic-ssl-lib` has been explicitly passed. The binary
+releases that we deliver are built using `otp_build`. The defaults used by
+`otp_build configure` may change at any time without prior notice.
+
+### Cross Configuration ###
+
+The `$ERL_TOP/xcomp/erl-xcomp.conf.template` file contains all available cross
+configuration variables and can be used as a template when creating a cross
+compilation configuration. All [cross configuration variables][] are also
+listed at the end of this document. For examples of working cross
+configurations see the `$ERL_TOP/xcomp/erl-xcomp-TileraMDE2.0-tilepro.conf`
+file and the `$ERL_TOP/xcomp/erl-xcomp-x86_64-saf-linux-gnu.conf` file. If the
+default behavior of a variable is satisfactory, the variable does not need to
+be set. However, the `configure` script will issue a warning when a default
+value is used. When a variable has been set, no warning will be issued.
+
+A cross configuration file can be passed to `otp_build configure` using the
+`--xcomp-conf` command line argument. Note that `configure` does not accept
+this command line argument. When using the `configure` script directly, pass
+the configuration variables as arguments to `configure` using a
+`<VARIABLE>=<VALUE>` syntax. Variables can also be passed as environment
+variables to `configure`. However, if you pass the configuration in the
+environment, make sure to unset all of these environment variables before
+invoking `make`; otherwise, the environment variables might set make variables
+in some applications, or parts of some applications, and you may end up with
+an erroneously configured build.
+
+### What can be Cross Compiled? ###
+
+All Erlang/OTP applications except the `wx` application can be cross compiled.
+The build of the `wx` driver will currently be automatically disabled when
+cross compiling.
+
+### Compatibility ###
+
+The build system, including cross compilation configuration variables used,
+may be subject to non backward compatible changes without prior notice.
+Current cross build system has been tested when cross compiling some Linux/GNU
+systems, but has only been partly tested for more esoteric platforms. The
+VxWorks example file is highly dependent on our environment and is here more
+or less only for internal use.
+
+### Patches ###
+
+Please submit any patches for cross compiling in a way consistent with this
+system. All input is welcome as we have a very limited set of cross compiling
+environments to test with. If a new configuration variable is needed, add it
+to `$ERL_TOP/xcomp/erl-xcomp.conf.template`, and use it in `configure.in`.
+Other files that might need to be updated are:
+
+- `$ERL_TOP/xcomp/erl-xcomp-vars.sh`
+- `$ERL_TOP/erl-build-tool-vars.sh`
+- `$ERL_TOP/erts/aclocal.m4`
+- `$ERL_TOP/xcomp/README.md`
+- `$ERL_TOP/xcomp/erl-xcomp-*.conf`
+
+Note that this might be an incomplete list of files that need to be updated.

+
+Build and Install Procedure
+---------------------------
+
+If you are building in Git, you want to read the [Building in Git][] section
+of [$ERL_TOP/HOWTO/INSTALL.md][] before proceeding.
+
+We will first go through the `configure`/`make` build procedure which people
+probably are most familiar with.
+
+### Building With configure/make Directly ###
+
+ (1)
+
+Change directory into the top directory of the Erlang/OTP source tree.
+
+ $ cd $ERL_TOP
+
+In order to compile Erlang code, a small Erlang bootstrap system has to be
+built, or an Erlang/OTP system of the same release as the one being built
+has to be provided in the `$PATH`. The Erlang/OTP for the target system will
+be built using this Erlang system, together with the cross compilation tools
+provided.
+
+If you want to build the documentation out of the same source tree as you are
+cross compiling in, you currently need a full Erlang/OTP system of the same
+release as the one being built for the build machine. If this is the case,
+build and install one for the build machine (or use one already built) and add
+it to the `$PATH` before cross building, and building the documentation. See
+the [How to Build the Documentation][] section in the [$ERL_TOP/HOWTO/INSTALL.md][]
+document for information on how to build the documentation.
+
+If you want to build using a compatible Erlang/OTP system in the `$PATH`,
+jump to (3).
+
+#### Building a Bootstrap System ####
+
+ (2)
+
+ $ ./configure --enable-bootstrap-only
+ $ make
+
+The `--enable-bootstrap-only` argument to `configure` isn't strictly necessary,
+but will speed things up. It will only run `configure` in applications
+necessary for the bootstrap, and will disable a lot of things not needed by
+the bootstrap system. If you run `configure` without `--enable-boostrap-only`
+you also have to run make as `make bootstrap`; otherwise, the whole system will
+be built.
+
+#### Cross Building the System ####
+
+ (3)
+
+ $ ./configure --host=<HOST> --build=<BUILD> [Other Config Args]
+ $ make
+
+`<HOST>` is the host/target system that you build for. It does not have to be
+a full `CPU-VENDOR-OS` triplet, but can be. The full `CPU-VENDOR-OS` triplet
+will be created by executing `$ERL_TOP/erts/autoconf/config.sub <HOST>`. If
+`config.sub` fails, you need to be more specific.
+
+`<BUILD>` should equal the `CPU-VENDOR-OS` triplet of the system that you
+build on. If you execute `$ERL_TOP/erts/autoconf/config.guess`, it will in
+most cases print the triplet you want to use for this.
+
+Pass the cross compilation variables as command line arguments to `configure`
+using a `<VARIABLE>=<VALUE>` syntax.
+
+> *NOTE*: You can *not* pass a configuration file using the `--xcomp-conf`
+> argument when you invoke `configure` directly. The `--xcomp-conf` argument
+> can only be passed to `otp_build configure`.
+
+`make` will verify that the Erlang/OTP system used when building is of the
+same release as the system being built, and will fail if this is not the case.
+It is possible, however not recommended, to force the cross compilation even
+though the wrong Erlang/OTP system is used. This by invoking `make` like this:
+`make ERL_XCOMP_FORCE_DIFFERENT_OTP=yes`.
+
+> *WARNING*: Invoking `make ERL_XCOMP_FORCE_DIFFERENT_OTP=yes` might fail,
+> silently produce suboptimal code, or silently produce erroneous code.
+
+#### Installing ####
+
+You can either install using the installation paths determined by `configure`
+(4), or install manually using (5).
+
+##### Installing Using Paths Determined by configure #####
+
+ (4)
+
+ $ make install DESTDIR=<TEMPORARY_PREFIX>
+
+`make install` will install at a location specified when doing `configure`.
+`configure` arguments specifying where the installation should reside are for
+example: `--prefix`, `--exec-prefix`, `--libdir`, `--bindir`, etc. By default
+it will install under `/usr/local`. You typically do not want to install your
+cross build under `/usr/local` on your build machine. Using [DESTDIR][]
+will cause the installation paths to be prefixed by `$DESTDIR`. This makes it
+possible to install and package the installation on the build machine without
+having to place the installation in the same directory on the build machine as
+it should be executed from on the target machine.
+
+When `make install` has finished, change directory into `$DESTDIR`, package
+the system, move it to the target machine, and unpack it. Note that the
+installation will only be working on the target machine at the location
+determined by `configure`.
+
+##### Installing Manually #####
+
+ (5)
+
+ $ make release RELEASE_ROOT=<RELEASE_DIR>
+
+`make release` will copy what you have built for the target machine to
+`<RELEASE_DIR>`. The `Install` script will not be run. The content of
+`<RELEASE_DIR>` is what by default ends up in `/usr/local/lib/erlang`.
+
+The `Install` script used when installing Erlang/OTP requires common Unix
+tools such as `sed` to be present in your `$PATH`. If your target system
+does not have such tools, you need to run the `Install` script on your
+build machine before packaging Erlang/OTP. The `Install` script should
+currently be invoked as follows in the directory where it resides
+(the top directory):
+
+ $ ./Install [-cross] [-minimal|-sasl] <ERL_ROOT>
+
+where:
+
+* `-minimal` Creates an installation that starts up a minimal amount
+ of applications, i.e., only `kernel` and `stdlib` are started. The
+ minimal system is normally enough, and is what `make install` uses.
+* `-sasl` Creates an installation that also starts up the `sasl`
+ application.
+* `-cross` For cross compilation. Informs the install script that it
+ is run on the build machine.
+* `<ERL_ROOT>` - The absolute path to the Erlang installation to use
+ at run time. This is often the same as the current working directory,
+ but does not have to be. It can follow any other path through the file
+ system to the same directory.
+
+If neither `-minimal`, nor `-sasl` is passed as argument you will be
+prompted.
+
+You can now either do:
+
+ (6)
+
+* Decide where the installation should be located on the target machine,
+ run the `Install` script on the build machine, and package the installed
+ installation. The installation just need to be unpacked at the right
+ location on the target machine:
+
+ $ cd <RELEASE_DIR>
+ $ ./Install -cross [-minimal|-sasl] <ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DIR_ON_TARGET>
+
+or:
+
+ (7)
+
+* Package the installation in `<RELEASE_DIR>`, place it wherever you want
+ on your target machine, and run the `Install` script on your target
+ machine:
+
+ $ cd <ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DIR_ON_TARGET>
+ $ ./Install [-minimal|-sasl] <ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DIR_ON_TARGET>
+
+### Building With the otp\_build Script ###
+
+ (8)
+
+ $ cd $ERL_TOP
+
+ (9)
+
+ $ ./otp_build configure --xcomp-conf=<FILE> [Other Config Args]
+
+alternatively:
+
+ $ ./otp_build configure --host=<HOST> --build=<BUILD> [Other Config Args]
+
+If you have your cross compilation configuration in a file, pass it using the
+`--xcomp-conf=<FILE>` command line argument. If not, pass `--host=<HOST>`,
+`--build=<BUILD>`, and the configuration variables using a `<VARIABLE>=<VALUE>`
+syntax on the command line (same as in (3)). Note that `<HOST>` and `<BUILD>`
+have to be passed one way or the other; either by using `erl_xcomp_host=<HOST>`
+and `erl_xcomp_build=<BUILD>` in the configuration file, or by using the
+`--host=<HOST>`, and `--build=<BUILD>` command line arguments.
+
+`otp_build configure` will configure both for the boostrap system on the
+build machine and the cross host system.
+
+ (10)
+
+ $ ./otp_build boot -a
+
+`otp_build boot -a` will first build a bootstrap system for the build machine
+and then do the cross build of the system.
+
+ (11)
+
+ $ ./otp_build release -a <RELEASE_DIR>
+
+`otp_build release -a` will do the same as (5), and you will after this have
+to do a manual install either by doing (6), or (7).
+
+Testing the cross compiled system
+---------------------------------
+Some of the tests that come with erlang use native code to test. This means
+that when cross compiling erlang you also have to cross compile test suites
+in order to run tests on the target host. To do this you first have to release
+the tests as usual.
+
+ $ make release_tests
+
+or
+
+ $ ./otp_build tests
+
+The tests will be released into `$ERL_TOP/release/tests`. After releasing the
+tests you have to install the tests on the build machine. You supply the same
+xcomp file as to `./otp_build` in (9).
+
+ $ cd $ERL_TOP/release/tests/test_server/
+ $ $ERL_TOP/bootstrap/bin/erl -eval 'ts:install([{xcomp,"<FILE>"}])' -s ts compile_testcases -s init stop
+
+You should get a lot of printouts as the testcases are compiled. Once done you
+should copy the entire `$ERL_TOP/release/tests` folder to the cross host system.
+
+Then go to the cross host system and setup the erlang installed in (4) or (5)
+to be in your `$PATH`. Then go to what previously was
+`$ERL_TOP/release/tests/test_server` and issue the following command.
+
+ $ erl -s ts install -s ts run all_tests -s init stop
+
+The configure should be skipped and all tests should hopefully pass. For more
+details about how to use ts run `erl -s ts help -s init stop`
+
+Currently Used Configuration Variables
+--------------------------------------
+
+Note that you cannot define arbitrary variables in a cross compilation
+configuration file. Only the ones listed below will be guaranteed to be
+visible throughout the whole execution of all `configure` scripts. Other
+variables needs to be defined as arguments to `configure` or exported in
+the environment.
+
+### Variables for otp\_build Only ###
+
+Variables in this section are only used, when configuring Erlang/OTP for
+cross compilation using `$ERL_TOP/otp_build configure`.
+
+> *NOTE*: These variables currently have *no* effect if you configure using
+> the `configure` script directly.
+
+* `erl_xcomp_build` - The build system used. This value will be passed as
+ `--build=$erl_xcomp_build` argument to the `configure` script. It does
+ not have to be a full `CPU-VENDOR-OS` triplet, but can be. The full
+ `CPU-VENDOR-OS` triplet will be created by
+ `$ERL_TOP/erts/autoconf/config.sub $erl_xcomp_build`. If set to `guess`,
+ the build system will be guessed using
+ `$ERL_TOP/erts/autoconf/config.guess`.
+
+* `erl_xcomp_host` - Cross host/target system to build for. This value will
+ be passed as `--host=$erl_xcomp_host` argument to the `configure` script.
+ It does not have to be a full `CPU-VENDOR-OS` triplet, but can be. The
+ full `CPU-VENDOR-OS` triplet will be created by
+ `$ERL_TOP/erts/autoconf/config.sub $erl_xcomp_host`.
+
+* `erl_xcomp_configure_flags` - Extra configure flags to pass to the
+ `configure` script.
+
+### Cross Compiler and Other Tools ###
+
+If the cross compilation tools are prefixed by `<HOST>-` you probably do
+not need to set these variables (where `<HOST>` is what has been passed as
+`--host=<HOST>` argument to `configure`).
+
+All variables in this section can also be used when native compiling.
+
+* `CC` - C compiler.
+
+* `CFLAGS` - C compiler flags.
+
+* `STATIC_CFLAGS` - Static C compiler flags.
+
+* `CFLAG_RUNTIME_LIBRARY_PATH` - This flag should set runtime library
+ search path for the shared libraries. Note that this actually is a
+ linker flag, but it needs to be passed via the compiler.
+
+* `CPP` - C pre-processor.
+
+* `CPPFLAGS` - C pre-processor flags.
+
+* `CXX` - C++ compiler.
+
+* `CXXFLAGS` - C++ compiler flags.
+
+* `LD` - Linker.
+
+* `LDFLAGS` - Linker flags.
+
+* `LIBS` - Libraries.
+
+#### Dynamic Erlang Driver Linking ####
+
+> *NOTE*: Either set all or none of the `DED_LD*` variables.
+
+* `DED_LD` - Linker for Dynamically loaded Erlang Drivers.
+
+* `DED_LDFLAGS` - Linker flags to use with `DED_LD`.
+
+* `DED_LD_FLAG_RUNTIME_LIBRARY_PATH` - This flag should set runtime library
+ search path for shared libraries when linking with `DED_LD`.
+
+#### Large File Support ####
+
+> *NOTE*: Either set all or none of the `LFS_*` variables.
+
+* `LFS_CFLAGS` - Large file support C compiler flags.
+
+* `LFS_LDFLAGS` - Large file support linker flags.
+
+* `LFS_LIBS` - Large file support libraries.
+
+#### Other Tools ####
+
+* `RANLIB` - `ranlib` archive index tool.
+
+* `AR` - `ar` archiving tool.
+
+* `GETCONF` - `getconf` system configuration inspection tool. `getconf` is
+ currently used for finding out large file support flags to use, and
+ on Linux systems for finding out if we have an NPTL thread library or
+ not.
+
+### Cross System Root Locations ###
+
+* `erl_xcomp_sysroot` - The absolute path to the system root of the cross
+ compilation environment. Currently, the `crypto`, `odbc`, `ssh` and
+ `ssl` applications need the system root. These applications will be
+ skipped if the system root has not been set. The system root might be
+ needed for other things too. If this is the case and the system root
+ has not been set, `configure` will fail and request you to set it.
+
+* `erl_xcomp_isysroot` - The absolute path to the system root for includes
+ of the cross compilation environment. If not set, this value defaults
+ to `$erl_xcomp_sysroot`, i.e., only set this value if the include system
+ root path is not the same as the system root path.
+
+### Optional Feature, and Bug Tests ###
+
+These tests cannot (always) be done automatically when cross compiling. You
+usually do not need to set these variables.
+
+> *WARNING*: Setting these variables wrong may cause hard to detect
+> runtime errors. If you need to change these values, *really* make sure
+> that the values are correct.

+ that can be used on `brk` and `sbrk` symbols used by the `malloc()`
+ implementation in use, and by this track the `malloc()` implementations
+ core memory usage. This is currently only used by unsupported features.
+
+* `erl_xcomp_kqueue` - `yes|no`. Defaults to `no`. If `yes`, the target
+ system must have a working `kqueue()` implementation that returns a file
+ descriptor which can be used by `poll()` and/or `select()`. If `no` and
+ the target system has not got `epoll()` or `/dev/poll`, the kernel-poll
+ feature will be disabled.
+
+* `erl_xcomp_linux_clock_gettime_correction` - `yes|no`. Defaults to `yes` on
+ Linux; otherwise, `no`. If `yes`, `clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, _)` on
+ the target system must work. This variable is recommended to be set to
+ `no` on Linux systems with kernel versions less than 2.6.
+
+* `erl_xcomp_linux_nptl` - `yes|no`. Defaults to `yes` on Linux; otherwise,
+ `no`. If `yes`, the target system must have NPTL (Native POSIX Thread
+ Library). Older Linux systems have LinuxThreads instead of NPTL (Linux
+ kernel versions typically less than 2.6).
+
+* `erl_xcomp_linux_usable_sigaltstack` - `yes|no`. Defaults to `yes` on Linux;
+ otherwise, `no`. If `yes`, `sigaltstack()` must be usable on the target
+ system. `sigaltstack()` on Linux kernel versions less than 2.4 are
+ broken.
+
+* `erl_xcomp_linux_usable_sigusrx` - `yes|no`. Defaults to `yes`. If `yes`,
+ the `SIGUSR1` and `SIGUSR2` signals must be usable by the ERTS. Old
+ LinuxThreads thread libraries (Linux kernel versions typically less than
+ 2.2) used these signals and made them unusable by the ERTS.
+
+* `erl_xcomp_poll` - `yes|no`. Defaults to `no` on Darwin/MacOSX; otherwise,

+ implementation that also can handle devices. If `no`, `select()` will be
+ used instead of `poll()`.
+
+* `erl_xcomp_putenv_copy` - `yes|no`. Defaults to `no`. If `yes`, the target
+ system must have a `putenv()` implementation that stores a copy of the
+ key/value pair.
+
+* `erl_xcomp_reliable_fpe` - `yes|no`. Defaults to `no`. If `yes`, the target

+Testing Erlang/OTP
+==================
+
+Before you start testing you need to have the Erlang release which you
+are going to test in your path. See [$ERL_TOP/HOWTO/INSTALL.md][] for
+instructions on how to build an Erlang release.
+
+Short version
+-------------
+Move to the top directory of the Erlang release you want to test, i.e.
+cd /ldisk/work/otp
+
+ export ERL_TOP=`pwd`
+ ./otp_build setup -a
+ export PATH=`pwd`/bin:$PATH
+ ./otp_build tests
+ cd release/tests/test_server
+ erl -s ts install -s ts run all_tests -s init stop
+
+Where are the tests
+-------------------
+
+There are a lot of tests which test Erlang/OTP (as of 2012 about 12000) and
+they are located in different places throughout the source tree. Below is a list
+of the places where you can expect to find tests:
+
+* $ERL_TOP/lib/AppName/test/
+* $ERL_TOP/erts/test/
+* $ERL_TOP/erts/emulator/test/
+* $ERL_TOP/erts/epmd/test/
+
+Writing tests
+-------------
+
+All tests are [common_test][] suites and follow the same pattern as all
+[common_test][] suites. However, a couple of corner cases are
+handled by a test wrapper called `ts`. `ts` allows the test writer to put
+`Makefile.src` and `Makefile.first` files in the [data_dir][] and a special
+directory called `all_SUITE_data`.
+
+`Makefile.first` is run before any other Makefile and is typically used to
+generate .hrl files which are needed by other test suites. At the moment only
+the erl_interface tests use this feature and it should remain that way.
+
+`Makefile.src` is configured to a `Makefile` using the `variables` created when
+[configuring the tests][]. These `Makefile`s are later run by the test suite
+to compile whatever platform specific code the tests need to run.
+
+Releasing tests
+---------------
+
+If you cannot use [ct_run][] in the source tree you have to release the tests
+into a common test directory. The easiest way to do this is to use `otp_build`
+like this:
+
+ export ERL_TOP=`pwd`; ./otp_build tests
+
+This will release all tests in Erlang/OTP to `$ERL_TOP/release/tests/`. If you
+want to change the directory where the tests are released to use the `TESTROOT`
+environmental variable.
+
+In the `$TESTROOT` you should now see *_test folders. These folders contain
+everything needed to test Erlang/OTP and are platform independent; if you are
+testing Erlang on multiple platforms you just have to release on one and copy
+the tests to all other platforms.
+
+### Releasing cross tests
+
+For releasing tests in a cross compilation environment see [$ERL_TOP/HOWTO/INSTALL-CROSS.md][].
+
+Configuring and Running tests
+-----------------------------
+
+Running tests is done by first navigating to the `$TESTROOT/test_server` folder
+created when you released the tests and then start `erl` in that directory. The
+emulator flags specified will be used in the test runs. For example, if you want
+to test using async threads you have to supply `+A 10` to `erl` when you start it.
+
+To configure and run the tests `ts` is used. `ts` is a wrapper module to
+[common_test][] which takes care of configuration and build issues before
+[common_test][] is started.
+
+`ts` has a lot of special options and functions which can be usefull when
+testing Erlang/OTP. For a full listing issue `ts:help()` in the erlang shell.
+
+### Configuring the test environment
+
+Before running released tests you have to install them on the target system.
+Installing the tests is done by calling `ts:install().` in the Erlang shell
+which you intend to test from. `ts:install()` is basically a wrapper to a
+configure script and some Erlang code which figures out what your system looks
+like and what kind of emulator you are testing with. `ts:install()` can also
+take some arguments if necessary, see `ts:help()` for details.
+
+All variables created by `ts:install()` are found in
+`$TESTROOT/test_server/variables`.
+
+### Running the tests
+
+To run all test suites go to `$TESTROOT/test_server` fire up an Erlang shell and type:
+
+ ts:run().
+
+Note that running all tests will require several hours, so you may want to run
+the test cases for a single application
+
+ ts:run(Application, [batch]).
+
+or even part of the test suite for an application, for example
+
+ ts:run(emulator, bs, [batch]).
+
+to run all test suite modules starting with `bs` (i.e. all modules that test
+the bit syntax).
+
+To run a specific test case in a module, the full name of the module and test
+case must be specified:
+
+ ts:run(emulator, bs_bincomp_SUITE, byte_aligned, [batch]).
+
+Run `ts:help().` for more information.
+
+As of R14B02 it is also possibly to start all tests but the erl_interface tests
+by invoking Common Test directly from the released applications test directory,
+i.e.
+
+ cd $TESTROOT/test_server
+ $ERL_TOP/bin/ct_run -suite ../compiler_test/andor_SUITE -case t_orelse
+
+Running [ct_run][] from the command line still requires you to do the
+`ts:install()` step above.
+
+Examining the results
+---------------------
+
+Open the file `release/tests/test_server/index.html` in a web browser. Or open
+`release/tests/test_server/last_test.html` when a test suite is running to
+examine the results so far for the currently executing test suite (in R14B02 and
+later you want to open the `release/tests/test_server/all_runs.html` file to
+get to the currently running test)

-Cross Compiling Erlang/OTP
-==========================
-
-Introduction
-------------
-
-This document describes how to cross compile Erlang/OTP-%OTP-REL%. Note that
-the support for cross compiling Erlang/OTP should be considered as
-experimental. As far as we know, the %OTP-REL% release should cross compile
-fine, but since we currently have a very limited set of cross compilation
-environments to test with we cannot be sure. The cross compilation support
-will remain in an experimental state until we get a lot more cross compilation
-environments to test with.
-
-You are advised to read the whole document before attempting to cross
-compile Erlang/OTP. However, before reading this document, you should read
-the [$ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md][] document which describes building and installing
-Erlang/OTP in general. `$ERL_TOP` is the top directory in the source tree.
-
-### otp\_build Versus configure/make ###
-
-Building Erlang/OTP can be done either by using the `$ERL_TOP/otp_build`
-script, or by invoking `$ERL_TOP/configure` and `make` directly. Building using
-`otp_build` is easier since it involves fewer steps, but the `otp_build` build
-procedure is not as flexible as the `configure`/`make` build procedure. Note
-that `otp_build configure` will produce a default configuration that differs
-from what `configure` will produce by default. For example, currently
-`--disable-dynamic-ssl-lib` is added to the `configure` command line arguments
-unless `--enable-dynamic-ssl-lib` has been explicitly passed. The binary
-releases that we deliver are built using `otp_build`. The defaults used by
-`otp_build configure` may change at any time without prior notice.
-
-### Cross Configuration ###
-
-The `$ERL_TOP/xcomp/erl-xcomp.conf.template` file contains all available cross
-configuration variables and can be used as a template when creating a cross
-compilation configuration. All [cross configuration variables][] are also
-listed at the end of this document. For examples of working cross
-configurations see the `$ERL_TOP/xcomp/erl-xcomp-TileraMDE2.0-tilepro.conf`
-file and the `$ERL_TOP/xcomp/erl-xcomp-x86_64-saf-linux-gnu.conf` file. If the
-default behavior of a variable is satisfactory, the variable does not need to
-be set. However, the `configure` script will issue a warning when a default
-value is used. When a variable has been set, no warning will be issued.
-
-A cross configuration file can be passed to `otp_build configure` using the
-`--xcomp-conf` command line argument. Note that `configure` does not accept
-this command line argument. When using the `configure` script directly, pass
-the configuration variables as arguments to `configure` using a
-`<VARIABLE>=<VALUE>` syntax. Variables can also be passed as environment
-variables to `configure`. However, if you pass the configuration in the
-environment, make sure to unset all of these environment variables before
-invoking `make`; otherwise, the environment variables might set make variables
-in some applications, or parts of some applications, and you may end up with
-an erroneously configured build.
-
-### What can be Cross Compiled? ###
-
-All Erlang/OTP applications except the `wx` application can be cross compiled.
-The build of the `wx` driver will currently be automatically disabled when
-cross compiling.
-
-### Compatibility ###
-
-The build system, including cross compilation configuration variables used,
-may be subject to non backward compatible changes without prior notice.
-Current cross build system has been tested when cross compiling some Linux/GNU
-systems, but has only been partly tested for more esoteric platforms. The
-VxWorks example file is highly dependent on our environment and is here more
-or less only for internal use.
-
-### Patches ###
-
-Please submit any patches for cross compiling in a way consistent with this
-system. All input is welcome as we have a very limited set of cross compiling
-environments to test with. If a new configuration variable is needed, add it
-to `$ERL_TOP/xcomp/erl-xcomp.conf.template`, and use it in `configure.in`.
-Other files that might need to be updated are:
-
-- `$ERL_TOP/xcomp/erl-xcomp-vars.sh`
-- `$ERL_TOP/erl-build-tool-vars.sh`
-- `$ERL_TOP/erts/aclocal.m4`
-- `$ERL_TOP/xcomp/README.md`
-- `$ERL_TOP/xcomp/erl-xcomp-*.conf`
-
-Note that this might be an incomplete list of files that need to be updated.
-
-General information on how to submit patches can be found at:
- <http://wiki.github.com/erlang/otp/submitting-patches>
-
-Build and Install Procedure
----------------------------
-
-If you are building in Git, you want to read the [Building in Git][] section
-of [$ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md][] before proceeding.
-
-We will first go through the `configure`/`make` build procedure which people
-probably are most familiar with.
-
-### Building With configure/make Directly ###
-
- (1)
-
-Change directory into the top directory of the Erlang/OTP source tree.
-
- $ cd $ERL_TOP
-
-In order to compile Erlang code, a small Erlang bootstrap system has to be
-built, or an Erlang/OTP system of the same release as the one being built
-has to be provided in the `$PATH`. The Erlang/OTP for the target system will
-be built using this Erlang system, together with the cross compilation tools
-provided.
-
-If you want to build the documentation out of the same source tree as you are
-cross compiling in, you currently need a full Erlang/OTP system of the same
-release as the one being built for the build machine. If this is the case,
-build and install one for the build machine (or use one already built) and add
-it to the `$PATH` before cross building, and building the documentation. See
-the [How to Build the Documentation][] section in the [$ERL_TOP/INSTALL.md][]
-document for information on how to build the documentation.
-
-If you want to build using a compatible Erlang/OTP system in the `$PATH`,
-jump to (3).
-
-#### Building a Bootstrap System ####
-
- (2)
-
- $ ./configure --enable-bootstrap-only
- $ make
-
-The `--enable-bootstrap-only` argument to `configure` isn't strictly necessary,
-but will speed things up. It will only run `configure` in applications
-necessary for the bootstrap, and will disable a lot of things not needed by
-the bootstrap system. If you run `configure` without `--enable-boostrap-only`
-you also have to run make as `make bootstrap`; otherwise, the whole system will
-be built.
-
-#### Cross Building the System ####
-
- (3)
-
- $ ./configure --host=<HOST> --build=<BUILD> [Other Config Args]
- $ make
-
-`<HOST>` is the host/target system that you build for. It does not have to be
-a full `CPU-VENDOR-OS` triplet, but can be. The full `CPU-VENDOR-OS` triplet
-will be created by executing `$ERL_TOP/erts/autoconf/config.sub <HOST>`. If
-`config.sub` fails, you need to be more specific.
-
-`<BUILD>` should equal the `CPU-VENDOR-OS` triplet of the system that you
-build on. If you execute `$ERL_TOP/erts/autoconf/config.guess`, it will in
-most cases print the triplet you want to use for this.
-
-Pass the cross compilation variables as command line arguments to `configure`
-using a `<VARIABLE>=<VALUE>` syntax.
-
-> *NOTE*: You can *not* pass a configuration file using the `--xcomp-conf`
-> argument when you invoke `configure` directly. The `--xcomp-conf` argument
-> can only be passed to `otp_build configure`.
-
-`make` will verify that the Erlang/OTP system used when building is of the
-same release as the system being built, and will fail if this is not the case.
-It is possible, however not recommended, to force the cross compilation even
-though the wrong Erlang/OTP system is used. This by invoking `make` like this:
-`make ERL_XCOMP_FORCE_DIFFERENT_OTP=yes`.
-
-> *WARNING*: Invoking `make ERL_XCOMP_FORCE_DIFFERENT_OTP=yes` might fail,
-> silently produce suboptimal code, or silently produce erroneous code.
-
-#### Installing ####
-
-You can either install using the installation paths determined by `configure`
-(4), or install manually using (5).
-
-##### Installing Using Paths Determined by configure #####
-
- (4)
-
- $ make install DESTDIR=<TEMPORARY_PREFIX>
-
-`make install` will install at a location specified when doing `configure`.
-`configure` arguments specifying where the installation should reside are for
-example: `--prefix`, `--exec-prefix`, `--libdir`, `--bindir`, etc. By default
-it will install under `/usr/local`. You typically do not want to install your
-cross build under `/usr/local` on your build machine. Using [DESTDIR][]
-will cause the installation paths to be prefixed by `$DESTDIR`. This makes it
-possible to install and package the installation on the build machine without
-having to place the installation in the same directory on the build machine as
-it should be executed from on the target machine.
-
-When `make install` has finished, change directory into `$DESTDIR`, package
-the system, move it to the target machine, and unpack it. Note that the
-installation will only be working on the target machine at the location
-determined by `configure`.
-
-##### Installing Manually #####
-
- (5)
-
- $ make release RELEASE_ROOT=<RELEASE_DIR>
-
-`make release` will copy what you have built for the target machine to
-`<RELEASE_DIR>`. The `Install` script will not be run. The content of
-`<RELEASE_DIR>` is what by default ends up in `/usr/local/lib/erlang`.
-
-The `Install` script used when installing Erlang/OTP requires common Unix
-tools such as `sed` to be present in your `$PATH`. If your target system
-does not have such tools, you need to run the `Install` script on your
-build machine before packaging Erlang/OTP. The `Install` script should
-currently be invoked as follows in the directory where it resides
-(the top directory):
-
- $ ./Install [-cross] [-minimal|-sasl] <ERL_ROOT>
-
-where:
-
-* `-minimal` Creates an installation that starts up a minimal amount
- of applications, i.e., only `kernel` and `stdlib` are started. The
- minimal system is normally enough, and is what `make install` uses.
-* `-sasl` Creates an installation that also starts up the `sasl`
- application.
-* `-cross` For cross compilation. Informs the install script that it
- is run on the build machine.
-* `<ERL_ROOT>` - The absolute path to the Erlang installation to use
- at run time. This is often the same as the current working directory,
- but does not have to be. It can follow any other path through the file
- system to the same directory.
-
-If neither `-minimal`, nor `-sasl` is passed as argument you will be
-prompted.
-
-You can now either do:
-
- (6)
-
-* Decide where the installation should be located on the target machine,
- run the `Install` script on the build machine, and package the installed
- installation. The installation just need to be unpacked at the right
- location on the target machine:
-
- $ cd <RELEASE_DIR>
- $ ./Install -cross [-minimal|-sasl] <ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DIR_ON_TARGET>
-
-or:
-
- (7)
-
-* Package the installation in `<RELEASE_DIR>`, place it wherever you want
- on your target machine, and run the `Install` script on your target
- machine:
-
- $ cd <ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DIR_ON_TARGET>
- $ ./Install [-minimal|-sasl] <ABSOLUTE_INSTALL_DIR_ON_TARGET>
-
-### Building With the otp\_build Script ###
-
- (8)
-
- $ cd $ERL_TOP
-
- (9)
-
- $ ./otp_build configure --xcomp-conf=<FILE> [Other Config Args]
-
-alternatively:
-
- $ ./otp_build configure --host=<HOST> --build=<BUILD> [Other Config Args]
-
-If you have your cross compilation configuration in a file, pass it using the
-`--xcomp-conf=<FILE>` command line argument. If not, pass `--host=<HOST>`,
-`--build=<BUILD>`, and the configuration variables using a `<VARIABLE>=<VALUE>`
-syntax on the command line (same as in (3)). Note that `<HOST>` and `<BUILD>`
-have to be passed one way or the other; either by using `erl_xcomp_host=<HOST>`
-and `erl_xcomp_build=<BUILD>` in the configuration file, or by using the
-`--host=<HOST>`, and `--build=<BUILD>` command line arguments.
-
-`otp_build configure` will configure both for the boostrap system on the
-build machine and the cross host system.
-
- (10)
-
- $ ./otp_build boot -a
-
-`otp_build boot -a` will first build a bootstrap system for the build machine
-and then do the cross build of the system.
-
- (11)
-
- $ ./otp_build release -a <RELEASE_DIR>
-
-`otp_build release -a` will do the same as (5), and you will after this have
-to do a manual install either by doing (6), or (7).
-
-Testing the cross compiled system
---------------------------------------
-Some of the tests that come with erlang use native code to test. This means
-that when cross compiling erlang you also have to cross compile test suites
-in order to run tests on the target host. To do this you first have to release
-the tests as usual.
-
- $ make release_tests
-
-or
-
- $ ./otp_build tests
-
-The tests will be released into `$ERL_TOP/release/tests`. After releasing the
-tests you have to install the tests on the build machine. You supply the same
-xcomp file as to `./otp_build` in (9).
-
- $ cd $ERL_TOP/release/tests/test_server/
- $ $ERL_TOP/bootstrap/bin/erl -eval 'ts:install([{xcomp,"<FILE>"}])' -s ts compile_testcases -s init stop
-
-You should get a lot of printouts as the testcases are compiled. Once done you
-should copy the entire `$ERL_TOP/release/tests` folder to the cross host system.
-
-Then go to the cross host system and setup the erlang installed in (4) or (5)
-to be in your `$PATH`. Then go to what previously was
-`$ERL_TOP/release/tests/test_server` and issue the following command.
-
- $ erl -s ts install -s ts run all_tests -s init stop
-
-The configure should be skipped and all tests should hopefully pass. For more
-details about how to use ts run `erl -s ts help -s init stop`
-
-Currently Used Configuration Variables
---------------------------------------
-
-Note that you cannot define arbitrary variables in a cross compilation
-configuration file. Only the ones listed below will be guaranteed to be
-visible throughout the whole execution of all `configure` scripts. Other
-variables needs to be defined as arguments to `configure` or exported in
-the environment.
-
-### Variables for otp\_build Only ###
-
-Variables in this section are only used, when configuring Erlang/OTP for
-cross compilation using `$ERL_TOP/otp_build configure`.
-
-> *NOTE*: These variables currently have *no* effect if you configure using
-> the `configure` script directly.
-
-* `erl_xcomp_build` - The build system used. This value will be passed as
- `--build=$erl_xcomp_build` argument to the `configure` script. It does
- not have to be a full `CPU-VENDOR-OS` triplet, but can be. The full
- `CPU-VENDOR-OS` triplet will be created by
- `$ERL_TOP/erts/autoconf/config.sub $erl_xcomp_build`. If set to `guess`,
- the build system will be guessed using
- `$ERL_TOP/erts/autoconf/config.guess`.
-
-* `erl_xcomp_host` - Cross host/target system to build for. This value will
- be passed as `--host=$erl_xcomp_host` argument to the `configure` script.
- It does not have to be a full `CPU-VENDOR-OS` triplet, but can be. The
- full `CPU-VENDOR-OS` triplet will be created by
- `$ERL_TOP/erts/autoconf/config.sub $erl_xcomp_host`.
-
-* `erl_xcomp_configure_flags` - Extra configure flags to pass to the
- `configure` script.
-
-### Cross Compiler and Other Tools ###
-
-If the cross compilation tools are prefixed by `<HOST>-` you probably do
-not need to set these variables (where `<HOST>` is what has been passed as
-`--host=<HOST>` argument to `configure`).
-
-All variables in this section can also be used when native compiling.
-
-* `CC` - C compiler.
-
-* `CFLAGS` - C compiler flags.
-
-* `STATIC_CFLAGS` - Static C compiler flags.
-
-* `CFLAG_RUNTIME_LIBRARY_PATH` - This flag should set runtime library
- search path for the shared libraries. Note that this actually is a
- linker flag, but it needs to be passed via the compiler.
-
-* `CPP` - C pre-processor.
-
-* `CPPFLAGS` - C pre-processor flags.
-
-* `CXX` - C++ compiler.
-
-* `CXXFLAGS` - C++ compiler flags.
-
-* `LD` - Linker.
-
-* `LDFLAGS` - Linker flags.
-
-* `LIBS` - Libraries.
-
-#### Dynamic Erlang Driver Linking ####
-
-> *NOTE*: Either set all or none of the `DED_LD*` variables.
-
-* `DED_LD` - Linker for Dynamically loaded Erlang Drivers.
-
-* `DED_LDFLAGS` - Linker flags to use with `DED_LD`.
-
-* `DED_LD_FLAG_RUNTIME_LIBRARY_PATH` - This flag should set runtime library
- search path for shared libraries when linking with `DED_LD`.
-
-#### Large File Support ####
-
-> *NOTE*: Either set all or none of the `LFS_*` variables.
-
-* `LFS_CFLAGS` - Large file support C compiler flags.
-
-* `LFS_LDFLAGS` - Large file support linker flags.
-
-* `LFS_LIBS` - Large file support libraries.
-
-#### Other Tools ####
-
-* `RANLIB` - `ranlib` archive index tool.
-
-* `AR` - `ar` archiving tool.
-
-* `GETCONF` - `getconf` system configuration inspection tool. `getconf` is
- currently used for finding out large file support flags to use, and
- on Linux systems for finding out if we have an NPTL thread library or
- not.
-
-### Cross System Root Locations ###
-
-* `erl_xcomp_sysroot` - The absolute path to the system root of the cross
- compilation environment. Currently, the `crypto`, `odbc`, `ssh` and
- `ssl` applications need the system root. These applications will be
- skipped if the system root has not been set. The system root might be
- needed for other things too. If this is the case and the system root
- has not been set, `configure` will fail and request you to set it.
-
-* `erl_xcomp_isysroot` - The absolute path to the system root for includes
- of the cross compilation environment. If not set, this value defaults
- to `$erl_xcomp_sysroot`, i.e., only set this value if the include system
- root path is not the same as the system root path.
-
-### Optional Feature, and Bug Tests ###
-
-These tests cannot (always) be done automatically when cross compiling. You
-usually do not need to set these variables.
-
-> *WARNING*: Setting these variables wrong may cause hard to detect
-> runtime errors. If you need to change these values, *really* make sure
-> that the values are correct.
-
-> *NOTE*: Some of these values will override results of tests performed
-> by `configure`, and some will not be used until `configure` is sure that
-> it cannot figure the result out.
-
-The `configure` script will issue a warning when a default value is used.
-When a variable has been set, no warning will be issued.
-
-* `erl_xcomp_after_morecore_hook` - `yes|no`. Defaults to `no`. If `yes`,
- the target system must have a working `__after_morecore_hook` that can be
- used for tracking used `malloc()` implementations core memory usage.
- This is currently only used by unsupported features.
-
-* `erl_xcomp_bigendian` - `yes|no`. No default. If `yes`, the target system
- must be big endian. If `no`, little endian. This can often be
- automatically detected, but not always. If not automatically detected,
- `configure` will fail unless this variable is set. Since no default
- value is used, `configure` will try to figure this out automatically.
-
-* `erl_xcomp_clock_gettime_cpu_time` - `yes|no`. Defaults to `no`. If `yes`,
- the target system must have a working `clock_gettime()` implementation
- that can be used for retrieving process CPU time.
-
-* `erl_xcomp_getaddrinfo` - `yes|no`. Defaults to `no`. If `yes`, the target
- system must have a working `getaddrinfo()` implementation that can
- handle both IPv4 and IPv6.
-
-* `erl_xcomp_gethrvtime_procfs_ioctl` - `yes|no`. Defaults to `no`. If `yes`,
- the target system must have a working `gethrvtime()` implementation and
- is used with procfs `ioctl()`.
-
-* `erl_xcomp_dlsym_brk_wrappers` - `yes|no`. Defaults to `no`. If `yes`, the
- target system must have a working `dlsym(RTLD_NEXT, <S>)` implementation
- that can be used on `brk` and `sbrk` symbols used by the `malloc()`
- implementation in use, and by this track the `malloc()` implementations
- core memory usage. This is currently only used by unsupported features.
-
-* `erl_xcomp_kqueue` - `yes|no`. Defaults to `no`. If `yes`, the target
- system must have a working `kqueue()` implementation that returns a file
- descriptor which can be used by `poll()` and/or `select()`. If `no` and
- the target system has not got `epoll()` or `/dev/poll`, the kernel-poll
- feature will be disabled.
-
-* `erl_xcomp_linux_clock_gettime_correction` - `yes|no`. Defaults to `yes` on
- Linux; otherwise, `no`. If `yes`, `clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, _)` on
- the target system must work. This variable is recommended to be set to
- `no` on Linux systems with kernel versions less than 2.6.
-
-* `erl_xcomp_linux_nptl` - `yes|no`. Defaults to `yes` on Linux; otherwise,
- `no`. If `yes`, the target system must have NPTL (Native POSIX Thread
- Library). Older Linux systems have LinuxThreads instead of NPTL (Linux
- kernel versions typically less than 2.6).
-
-* `erl_xcomp_linux_usable_sigaltstack` - `yes|no`. Defaults to `yes` on Linux;
- otherwise, `no`. If `yes`, `sigaltstack()` must be usable on the target
- system. `sigaltstack()` on Linux kernel versions less than 2.4 are
- broken.
-
-* `erl_xcomp_linux_usable_sigusrx` - `yes|no`. Defaults to `yes`. If `yes`,
- the `SIGUSR1` and `SIGUSR2` signals must be usable by the ERTS. Old
- LinuxThreads thread libraries (Linux kernel versions typically less than
- 2.2) used these signals and made them unusable by the ERTS.
-
-* `erl_xcomp_poll` - `yes|no`. Defaults to `no` on Darwin/MacOSX; otherwise,
- `yes`. If `yes`, the target system must have a working `poll()`
- implementation that also can handle devices. If `no`, `select()` will be
- used instead of `poll()`.
-
-* `erl_xcomp_putenv_copy` - `yes|no`. Defaults to `no`. If `yes`, the target
- system must have a `putenv()` implementation that stores a copy of the
- key/value pair.
-
-* `erl_xcomp_reliable_fpe` - `yes|no`. Defaults to `no`. If `yes`, the target
- system must have reliable floating point exceptions.
