Cross-compile on 64bit Linux machine?

[Miner49er]

Simple question, I can only find stuff for 32bit...don't want to have to re-install os just for pandora compliation.

Try this script: crosscompilemaker.sh
It should gives you a cross compiler environnement, with gcc/g++ 4.9 and the minimum stuff to build.

Excellent thanks!

...I'll stop setting up a VM now then

Interesting. I wonder if I could use this without too much frustration .
So this script gets the compiler up and running... but then there's all the dependencies (stuff in /include and /lib). Any best practices/dirty tricks for accumulating these quickly?-) Simply copying them over from the Pandora messes up paths, right?

(Background: My last crosscompiling project was done at work a loooooong time ago: Windows x86 build host --> Linux ARM host... abominal experience... I mostly remember staying late in the office so I could rant, curse and give my (CRT ) monitor the finger without bothering colleagues.)

My personnal way for that is to use codeblocks.pnd on my Linux machine. I mount it at the same mount point it would be on the Pandora (/mnt/utmp/codeblocks), using the same mecanism as on the pandora (unionfs, to have writable permisison, but plain extraction can work too). Then you need to replace all the link to /usr/lib and /lib by actual lib from the Pandora. It works pretty well.
