So you also agree that cross-compiling on x86_64 is beneficial for such targets, especially for developers who have many edit-compile-test cycles to run. And for that purpose, the OE SDK is one of the best tools available IMNSVHO. Additional bonus: you build it once and every developer can deploy it on his preferred Linux distribution, where he has all the tools (editors, VCS GUI frontends, ...) he likes best. -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscr...@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+ow...@opensuse.org
