Hi Guix,

I am looking into ghc on ARM and the process seems like it only requires a separate gcc toolchain specified during configure. I have not packaged a gcc-toolchain yet, so I am looking for pointers. Would the gcc toolchain for cross compiling (say, from x86 to aarch64) be as simple as providing the target flag to the various toolchain packages’ configures?

Thanks for your help!

John

I tried packaging devkitARM (GCC 10 based version) and failed, so your
mileage may vary. I've never developed for ARM before, maybe it's
easier if you're a seasoned pro.

Hi raingloom,

How did you try packaging it? Do you think inheriting from gcc and friends would be a good start?

Thanks!

John

This repo contains what I have so far. You'll also need to patch
embedded.scm in Guix to export some arm-none-eabi related functions
publicly.

Thanks raingloom,

What branch and file should I start with?

No prob!
I hope you get farther that I have. In any case, feel free to send an
update on your progress. The more people working out the
cross-compilation kinks the better.
