| Cross-compilation is the process of compiling code for one architecture (often | |
| called the target) on a different system, usually called the host. | |
| Cross-compilation of SCST is possible as follows: | |
| 1. Download the Linux kernel source code and also the SCST source code. | |
| 2. Install the appropriate cross-compiler, e.g. as follows: | |
| zypper install cross-arm-gcc9 | |
| 3. Store the cross-compilation prefix and architecture names in the | |
| CROSS_COMPILE and ARCH environment variables, e.g. as follows: | |
| export CROSS_COMPILE=/usr/bin/arm-suse-linux-gnueabi- | |
| export ARCH=arm | |
| 4. Build the Linux kernel. | |
| cd $HOME/software/linux-kernel | |
| make | |
| 5. Cross-compile SCST using any of the supported build methods. An example: | |
| export KDIR=$HOME/software/linux-kernel | |
| cd scst.git | |
| make rpm |
