Cross compilation for Mobian

I was able to build the latest GNU Emacs directly on the PinePhone's CPU, including the pure GTK and native elisp compilation features. I had to limit the build to two parallel jobs (more than 2 caused OOM crashes). It took ~2h:36m, CPU utilization was around 50% and the temperatures stabilized at constant 60°C on the CPU and 56°C on the GPU.

After this experience, I have become interested in cross-compilation as well, although I have very little experience with it.

Quote:I'm also looking to setup the whole thing as a repo with a weekly or daily build job, if the repo setup doesn't require too much maintenance, which I'd gladly share if anyone's interested.

Not me. I track the Emacs source code commit-by-commit; I'd never give up this control for any amount of convenience.

However, if you have it already figured out, please do share your method and observations.  Heart

My current solution has been to build Emacs on a Debian chroot (via debootstrap) on my Raspberry Pi 4, which has significantly shorter build times (with the same pgtk and nativecomp features). I'm currently working on a cross compilation pipeline from my much more powerful server, but I'm blocked by the fact that I might have broken my wifi with the keyboard cover, so I can't really test it. I'll update the thread when I have something working and testable!
