#Cross-compiling without qemu-user

I asked this quickly in #support-archive , but I just wanted to create a thread to make sure. I'm making a stage4 for a ppc32 machine I own, which I have done before with qemu-user. However, the single-threaded parts of the compilation process on that feel as though I'm genuinely compiling on a 7447a, and it takes forever. I've also wanted to learn using crossdev to compile everything, so that's what I'm trying this time around, but I've run into a roadblock. Any configure script that has a test program to compile does not recognise it is being cross-compiled, and as a result the test program fails to compile. This happens with several packages, such as vim. Is there any way to work around this with crossdev, or is it time to break out qemu-user again?

#

And would it even be able to execute the test program? Is there some kind of wrapper to use for configure to allow running the generated binary through qemu-user?

crossdev

#

check my ps2 guide for the basics of how it works

#

just adapt to your system obs

#

Let's see how you get on with a hint then we'll look again if you get stuck

#

just ping me when that happens but honestly I think you got this
