Clearly, I have never thought about cross compilation for ghdl. Initially, I thought there were no case for that, but in fact there are a few ones, as you mentioned. GCC handles cross compilation, so you have to modify Makefiles using other front-end examples. And yes, because ghdl doesn't use gcc to assemble, and invoke it to link, you have to modify that. Do not hesitate to post patches. Regards, Tristan. _______________________________________________ Ghdl-discuss mailing list Ghdl-discuss@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/ghdl-discuss
