You say: "The disadvantage of cross compiling is you still need to test it" Are you implying that build on the target means you don't need to test, that doesn't sound right to me! We leave all the cross platform differences to the compiler and Qt teams. As far as WSJT-X is concerned the source code is identical on every platform except for some trivial differences about file system layouts but they are operating system dependent rather than hardware dependent. I have always used cross tools with the 'install' target sending the built product to a network device that is shared with the target (or on smaller targets actually flashing the target) so I build on a fast desktop and test on the target, seamlessly. I don't see the problem and your comments about "bloat" seem to be something from personal view of development ;) Amongst other things, I do the production builds for WSJT-X and I would like a set up where I can make an ARMv7 package without having the target on the bench here. 73 Bill G4WJS. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
