Either way, here are my two cents on cross-compiling: I found that learning openembedded takes quite some effort, especially when you want to produce something you can actually boot into on your target system. On the other hand, cross-compiling stuff on any distro that I am familiar with has usually been easy. The only case when I struggle is when there is a complex build-system involved with hacked-together scripts not aware of cross-compiling. There are many out there, but many others do just fine! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscr...@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+ow...@opensuse.org
