--- Comment #2 from Thierry Reding <thierry.red...@avionic-design.de> 2012-01-11 23:35:47 PST --- (In reply to comment #1) > Scons supports cross-compilation using approach 1).

Out of tree builds would also be nice to have. Has anyone ever done some work on that? The problem with this option is that it requires special instructions to make cross-compilation work (compile for build system, then compile for host system with special flags). Cross-compilation really should work out-of-the-box. > Another option would be simply to eliminate builtin_compiler, and do whatever > it does at runtime, when the drivers are loaded. I think that was one of the reasons why builtin_compiler was introduced in the first place, to avoid having to do this at runtime. I think the benefits outweigh the trickiness required at build time. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
