Re: Cross compiling orbit2

Hi,

Which platform do you use to crosscompile?
Which platform do you crosscompile for?

(haven't cross-compiled ORBit2 myself, so just guessing)

As ORBit2's IDL-compiler is executed at buildtime, you likely will need
to have ORBit2 (same version) installed natively on the build platform.
Additionally, you might have to tweak ORBit's build-system to use the
pre-installed IDL-compiler instead of the just built one.

Interesting here is that it seems the just built IDL-compiler could start
whenever the correct shared libraries were found...
One of the ideas/problems/specifics of cross-compiling usually is that the
just built binaries cannot be executed on the build platform.

Where do you think this library being available?
Is it the correct platform/bitness the idl-compiler does search for?

This isn't a link-error, but a runtime error.
