I have a 64bit Linux server (RHEL5), which automatically builds our software every night (triggered via a Jenkins job - but that really shouldn't matter). I'd like to use this server to first build the software for 32bit platforms and then for 64bit platforms. Our customers should be able to choose their runtime system being 32 or 64 bit) > If you are using a toolchain file you will have to put the decision of > using that file outside of your cmake file. yes, that would be sufficient. I'm just not sure if it is enough to change the compiler flags or if there is more to change (paths etc.) and what about that wiki page: > > http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/CMake_Cross_Compiling#Information_how_to_set_up_various_cross_compiling_toolchains > > => "On mixed 32/64 bit Linux installations cross compilation cannot be used > > to build for 32/64 bit only." is it wrong or outdated ? > You can also opt to put a > check inside your cmake file and set compiler flags (-m32 / -m64) > accordingly. > Using a toolchain file is more flexible when releasing a project, but > autoconfiguring is nice when running builds on buildservers through > ctest scripts. > > Regards, > Micha > > On 02/15/2013 11:46 AM, Martin Koller wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > for the question above I found different answers on the web, so I'm puzzled > > and wanted to know an authoritative answer from the cmake gurus. > > > > What I found: > > http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/CMake_Cross_Compiling#Information_how_to_set_up_various_cross_compiling_toolchains > > => "On mixed 32/64 bit Linux installations cross compilation cannot be used > > to build for 32/64 bit only." > > > > but also: > > > > http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4131158/how-to-cross-compile-for-linux-x86-with-linux-amd64-cmake-and-g > > => talking about using a toolchain file ... > > > > so please tell me: what is the correct way or is there no way ? > > > -- Best regards/Schöne Grüße Martin A: Because it breaks the logical sequence of discussion Q: Why is top posting bad?
