Hi Alan,

Thanks for this information - I will look up these pages (and forward this information to Sebastian 😉).

Regards,

He found out that this needs to be done in two steps, one to build the auxiliary programs for use on the native platform and the second for the actual cross-compilation. Does anyone have experience with this? What procedure would you recommend? Is there an easy way to make this build scenario easier?

Hi Arjen:

Andrew Ross got cross-compilation to work (with some limitations) back in 2009.  I suggest if you haven't done so already you review that mailing list thread (which you can find with a subject line search for "cross compilation" in the plplot_devel mailing list archive at SF).

Andrew commented in that thread that he had documented some of his cross-compilation experiences in our old wiki.  All the contents of that old wiki were transferred to our SF wiki back when I established that SF wiki so his (dated) documentation/comments about cross-compilation should be accessible at our SF wiki.  Indeed, if you search there, there are 7 wiki pages that mention "cross" so if you follow up on those hits (which I did not) I assume you will find what Andrew (and others?) wrote about cross compilation back in 2009 or so.

Of course, if you make some modern progress with cross-compilation, please update the SF wiki accordingly following the wiki update procedure in README.developers.

Cheers,

Alan
