Hi, Has anyone succeeded in cross-compiling R to Linux on an ARM CPU?
Yes (although that questions leaves a lot of room for interpretation).
If so, can you share a little about your toolchain & build process?
It was fairly straight-forward to build R (like any other cross- compilation). The tricky part is to install packages (if you are truly cross-compiling on another architecture) which I solved by using multi- arch R (which contains both arm and the host architecture) and cross- compiling only the binaries (i.e. only packages with native code). That could probably be simplified, but I didn't have the time to do that.
