I'm all for cross compilation, but in reality you still need running copies of those other operating systems in order to be able to test what you've built.

- vijaybritto 7y agoYes but the dev setup is not really necessary for all of those OSes.
- pjmlp 7y agoOnly if not using OS APIs.
- vijaybritto 7y agoYeah sorry I didnt think about. Probably very important as low level code like this mainly for talking with OS APIs
- Reelin 7y agoSetting up 3 or 4 VM images for different OSes takes a few minutes. Configuring 3 or 4 different build environments across as many OSes on the other hand ...
- VMG 7y agoAnd actually building on these potentially very low-power systems...
- solarkraft 7y agoSure, but building typically takes more resources than executing, so it's not really feasible to use a Raspberry Pi to build, but it can be for testing.
