Hi,

I need to build an armhf package on Alpine, but I only have access to x86_64 hardware. The cross-compiler generated by aports/scripts/bootstrap.sh is only for building the base system (can anyone explain why this compiler must not be used for anything else?).

What are my options?


Best regards,
Mogense Jensen

Create armhf lxc on x86_64 with the qemu-arm and qemu-openrc and build
package in this lxc

Or, use rootbld after setting up the arch you want in binfmt.
Install Qemu for the arch you want (e.g. qemu-riscv64), run "rc-service 
restart qemu-binfmt" and then call "CBUILD=riscv64 abuild rootbld" as you'd 
normally run "abuild -r".
