I'm trying to cross-compile boost for use with the ROS framework on a Gumstix Overo. I've been following the posted instructions here (modifying the script when need be), however I've come across an issue where bjam will not compile boost properly. I call bjam as follows: # boost if [ ! -f /opt/gumros/lib/libboost_date_time-gcc41-mt-1...
Hi, I am changing our build system in order to handle cross-compiling and packaging. It is a common thing to ship dependencies' DLLs but CMake's FindXXX modules(./configure checks) don't provide the path to these DLLs but only to .a files. I quickly looked inside the .a libs and they all seem to contain the DLL's name. What would be a...
I'm trying to cross-compile a 64-bit executable on a 32-bit ubuntu system. This works up until linking, where it fails due to the lack of a 64-bit glib2 (libglib-2.0.a). If I were doing this on a 64-bit system, I would use getlibs to install a 32-bit glib2 into /usr/lib32. However, on a 32-bit machine getlibs doesn't seem to do the op...
I'm trying to cross-compile gcc 4.4.3 and it's cross libraries. I have set all the Environment Variables needed for cross-compilation (AS, CC, CXX, AR, RANLIB, STRIP) and used the same setup for a lot of other stuff already, all of which worked fine. Now gcc itself also compiles without a problem but the support libraries are really puz...
I learned ActionScript and FlashBuilder about six months ago and then even more recently heard about Google's GWT and Closure. But before diving into java, I wanted to find out if there are any projects underway analogous to GWT but which use ActionScript as the development language rather than java. Is there an ActionScript-to-javascri...
After reading this article http://lukast.mediablog.sk/log/?p=155 I decided to use mingw on linux to compile windows applications. This means I can compile, test, debug and release directly from Linux. I hacked this build script which will cross compile the application and even package it in a ZIP file. Note that I am using out of sourc...
What up fam. So this isn't a question asking about memory management schemes; for those of you who may not know, the Flash Virtual Machine relies on garbage collection by using reference counting and mark and sweep (for good coverage of these topics, check out Grant Skinner's article and presentation). And yes, Flash also provides the ...
I am attempting to cross-compile on AIX with the xlc/xlC compilers. The code compiles successfully when it uses the default settings on another machine. The code actually successfully compiles with the cross-compilation, but the problem comes from the linker. This is the command which links the objects together: $(CHILD_OS)/usr/vacpp/b...
I know that if I want to compile a 32 bit .exe for windows on Linux I can just install and use the mingw32 package (e.g. apt-get install mingw32) on linux. What if I want to compile a windows .exe that is 64 bit? Is there tools or a method to do this? ...
Today I've encountered a very good book : UNIX to Linux® Porting: A Comprehensive Reference By Alfredo Mendoza, Chakarat Skawratananond, Artis Walker This reminded me of the thing I always wanted to know. "Porting Linux apps to Windows". I mean porting native Linux apps to native Windows with no platforms involved. If I can find an...
I'm working with an embedded Linux deployment and am using a cross compiler tool chain that doesn't compile I2C library function calls. How do I determine the precise versions of the libraries on the system so that I may rebuild the tool chain? I don't intend to replace the libraries deployed, as I do know they work (including I2C), s...
I'm facing this problem. So, I need to build the support libraries (zlib, libtiff, libpng, libxml2, libiconv) with "Multithreaded DLL" (/MD) & "Multithreaded DLL Debug" (/MDd) run-time options. But the problem is there is no direct way . I mean there is no *.sln / *.vcproj file which I can open in Visual C++ and build it. I'm aware with...
Hi, I have some old hardware with an old version of say SuSE linux running on it. Now I have this fancy development machine running Ubuntu 9.10. Some of the tools I use to compile my C app (written in Python 2.6.x) are not available on the old SuSe box. So... is it possible to compile for that old machine on my dev box? I have the foll...
Hello, I want to build a static library (*.LIB file) GNU libiconv on windows to be used with other libraries in Visual C++. Other libraries I'm using are built with "MultiThreaded DLL" (/MD) Runtime option. So, I need to build libiconv with the same option. Problem is the libiconv uses GNU build system and I want to compile with /MD op...
Can I install an older version of gcc/g++ (4.1.3) on the latest Ubuntu (which comes with 4.4.3) and use it to compile a .so which should run on CentOS? The binary compiled with the Ubuntu version of gcc fails to load on CentOS because of missing imports (GLIB_2_11, ...). I need C++ (including exceptions), so I can't just statically link ...
I make this program in C++ using Code::Blocks on Ubuntu. I need to turn it into a Windows executable binary (.exe file), but I don't know how to do this. Is it possible? ...
I was reading an article about cross-compiling for OSX on linux, but it was quite hard to understand. What tools do I need? And what configurations are necessary? Are there any tools for creating packages too? ...
I'm trying to compile a variety of python extensions (pycrypto, paramiko, subvertpy...) on Mac OS X 10.6, such that they will be compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 and its built-in python 2.5, for including in a product installer targetted at Mac OS X 10.5. I'm really not sure how to go about this. I dug around on Google and found a question...
I was wondering if I can use a library -written in C++- in C# The problem is that library has its own structures and classes.. Will I be able to use it in C#? Thanks EDIT This library is open source.. so if my requirements needs something special in C++ code, I will be able do it... ...
I got a question of using Eclipse to develop for embedded Linux on a Windows host Here are now I have and where I am. 1. a Windows host that have the latest Eclipse + CDT (c/c++ development tools) installed 2. a Ubuntu host (ssh + samba installed) that contains sources and toolschain to build the project. (the windows and ubuntu hosts ar...
