nimforum mirror - Nim cross compiling (BBB)

My Beagle Bone Black (BBB) has just arrived YEY, and now I am trying to cross compile some hello world application.

1st I tried to cross compile directly on the host machine: config file:


cpu:arm
os:linux

#compile_only
#gen_script

## setup compiler
arm.linux.gcc.path = "/usr/bin/"
arm.linux.gcc.exe = "arm-linux-gnu-gcc"
arm.linux.gcc.linkerexe = "arm-linux-gnu-gcc"

and the output of nim c --parallelBuild:1 BBBtest.nim


config/nim.cfg(45, 2) Hint: added path: '/home/xyz/.babel/pkgs/' [Path]
config/nim.cfg(46, 2) Hint: added path: '/home/xyz/.nimble/pkgs/' [Path]

 #include <setjmp.h>
                    ^

Error: execution of an external program failed

Looks like I do not have the libc for the arm architecture so... I tried method 2 "--compile_only --gen_script" got the bash script and c files and moved them to the BBB and executed the script there, and now:


./compile_BBBtest.sh
BBBtest_BBBtest.c:5:21: fatal error: nimbase.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
stdlib_system.c:5:21: fatal error: nimbase.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
gcc: error: stdlib_system.o: No such file or directory
gcc: error: BBBtest_BBBtest.o: No such file or directory

Anyone has any hints on cross compiling nim?

Thanks.
