The configuration files should be supplied to +$ERl_TOP/otp_build in the ./otp_build env_cross command to set up an +appropriate environment for cross compiling. + +Copy the template file erl-xcomp.conf.template to an appropriate name +and fill in at least the mandatory parts before attempting cross +compilation. See the template file for details on configuration +parameters and see the example erl-xcomp-TileraMDE2.0-tilepro.conf for +an example of a working configuration file. + +The support for cross compiling is in it's early stage of development, +it works for cross compiling some gnu/linux systems, but has only been partly +tested for more esotheric platforms. The vxworks example file is highly +dependent on our environment and is here more or less for internal use. + +Please submit any patches for cross compiling in a way consistent with +this system. Variables should be added to the configuration file, +which is sourced both by $ERL_TOP/otp_build and each configure +script. If a new configuration variable is needed for your system, add +it to the template file, use it in otp_build and/or configure and +submit the patch to erlang-patches for further integration into the +main branch. All input is welcome as we cannot possibly have all cross +compiling environments out there to test with. + |
