Help: cross-compile as static libary for aarch64 #165

Closed pujag-xlnx closed 4 years ago

Hi, This is not an issue but I am looking for some help. I am looking to compile this as static library to be able to use with c programs on aarch64 linux embedded target. Can you please tell me how to compile it as static library on x86 for aarch64 and all the headers that I will need to copy over? Thanks for your help,

Hello @gupta05 ,

Thanks for asking, you made me realize the install documentation was incomplete. To build Ulfius in static mode you can either:

Build with cmake using the -DBUILD_STATIC=on flag, see install doc
Build with Makefile using the static* targets, see install doc

Yder and Orcania need similar compilation procedure. Concerning the dependencies (libmicrohttpd, jansson, libcurl), their documentation should mention how to build in static mode if applicable.

Thanks for your response. How to cross compile ulfius for aarch64?

babelouest commented 4 years ago

I wouldn't know how to cross-compile, that's between you and your compiler.

A quick search gives me some results though: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=gcc+cross+compile+aarch64&ia=web

Sorry for the confusion. I meant to ask if there was any variables I need to set for arch explicitly. I have the compiler but wasn't sure where to change it in ulfius makefile. Anyways I will figure out. Thanks.
