4180 :: Is .cfg cross-compilation still supported?

• markprocess (orginal) [2018-09-08T05:37:34+02:00] view original

  I tried this but it still used simple gcc instead of arm-none-eabi-gcc

  https://nim-lang.org/docs/nimc.html

  Another way is to make Nim invoke a cross compiler toolchain:
  
  nim c --cpu:arm --os:linux myproject.nim
  For cross compilation, the compiler invokes a C compiler named like  $cpu.$os.$cc (for example arm.linux.gcc) and the configuration system is used to provide meaningful
  defaults. For example for ARM your configuration file should contain something like:
  
  arm.linux.gcc.path = "/usr/bin"
  arm.linux.gcc.exe = "arm-linux-gcc"
  arm.linux.gcc.linkerexe = "arm-linux-gcc"

  you can just do:

  
  gcc.path = "/usr/bin"
  gcc.exe = "arm-linux-gcc"
  gcc.linkerexe = "arm-linux-gcc"
  Run

  but it's less flexible.
