Re: Can't cross compile for sparc

Hmm quite intersting...

I've always wondered how you guys at pkgsrc, build binary packages (pkgin) from pkgsrc. Apparently, it's not by cross compiling. 

Do you use distcc with x86_64 "helper" machine for every architecture or you simply have every hardware on a basement and run something like  pbulk on the whole pkgsrc tree ( or on a sub selection of packages... ) or is it something else ?

Cross-compiling is a bit on the experimental side.  It would be great if
you figured out what was wrong and sent in fixes, but I would not be
surprised if it does not work currently.  Also, I have the impression
that in addition to infrastructure each package needs to be
cross-friendly.
