What is the state of real cross-compiling support in Distutils2? AFAIK cross-compiling is supported only for various Windows compilers Visual Studio, MinGW, Borland etc. What I need is an option to cross-compile software for other architecture like: host - x86, target - ARM. I encountered following problems trying to cross-compile netifaces 6.0 for ARM Linux: 1. the cross-compiler was not used for all compilation stages without following package: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distutilscross 2. during header search process temp c files were created, compiled and executed. Execution led to an error (cross-compiled binary). What is the proper way of searching for required headers/libs aka autoconf? 3. Libraries search paths (LDFLAGS) were ignored at linking stage Version 7.0 fixes problems 2 to 3, but the first one still remains. Projects/distros that are using cross-compilation are: Yocto (http://www.yoctoproject.org/) Buildroot (http://buildroot.uclibc.org/) many others Regards, Yegor
