Cross compiling for Cortex A9

Karel,

Thanks. This helps.

If I understand, you have Linux running on a Panda, and on that Panda system you have gcc, and you compile GHC on the Panda itself, rather than build a cross compiler. I can see the advantage of building this way.

As far as cross compilers, I have a reason for trying to build a cross compiler, other than the ability to keep the image of the target small. That is, eventually, I want to be able to compile for an RTOS and/or bare iron system. I decided that learning to cross compile for Linux first would be a good approach. Learn the build system on something known to work. So I probably will not give up on that.

I got a book on Autoconfig. I’ll just have to dig a level deeper into the whole build system. Mainly it means learning the M4 system. I have never used it.

Below are the defines from the command you suggested. Thanks for that, got me over an ignorance hump. At least this define, __ARM_ARCH_5T__, is in the aclocal.m4 file. So I will have to study the macros until I figure out what controls the gcc options passed to the gcc cross compiler. I guess my question is what actually controls this result ("target arch", "ArchARM {armISA = ARMv7, armISAExt = [VFPv3,NEON], armABI = HARD}”)?

Are these controlled by the defines below, or are they controlled by passing gcc arguments to the gcc compiler when the Haskell compiler calls gcc?

Mike
