Load the Linux/GNU option. This will load a general Linux/GNU config. We’ll end up replacing the config but it gives us a good starting point. Ct-ng armv7-rpi2-linux-gnueabihf Note 8/29: this is a better starting point than my original suggestion. The config file below will change the remaining settings to accomodate for the different processor. First, I agree that it's usually simpler to just use a Linux VM. That said, if you really want to do this, I have successfully compiled Linux kernel code using the procedure below. Before you can even start, you may need to install the Linux source tree on a case-sensitive filesystem on your Mac. Cross-compiling on windows for linux free download. Mpv-i686-cross-compiling-MinGW32-Doc This project aims at setting up a MinGW-w64 Toolchain on a pure Linux-32 Bits system to cross-compil.
So I picked up a 13' MacBook and have been fiddling around with it. I like it, sue me.One of the first things I did (as any Linux developer would) was to install darwin ports. I noticed some interesting things in there. A few that I needed (git) and a few that completely surprised me (dpkg and apt).
How To Compile C++ Linux
One thing that was missing was a Linux cross-compiler. So I did what any self-respecting Linux developer on a Mac would do: I built one.
Don't get too excited. I've only built one worthy of compiling a kernel (which means no C library, no userspace, etc).
The result of my work is here (built on 10.6.3):
Mingw Linux Cross Compile
You may notice the extra elf.h file, which is needed in /usr/include/elf.h for some programs in the kernel to compile natively on the host (e.g. modpost). The gcc and binutils will unpack in /opt/local/.
In order to cross-compile, you will need to add a few things to your kernel make command line:
You may notice, like I did, scripts/genksyms/parse.c has a #include for malloc.h which is not on Darwin. You may safely delete that line.
Note that you must already have /opt/local/bin in your PATH. Using ARCH=i386 will also work and compile 32-bit kernels. One last point, the sources for gcc/binutils came from Ubuntu's Jaunty.
