Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] Cross compile GNURadio on ARM in Odroid XU3

[Sid Boyce]

I use at least 4GB swap to avoid the OOM problem.
I have not timed the builds but it doesn't take an inordinate amount of 
time.

I also build kernels quite happily on ODROID.

On Beaglebone White it took ~36 hours but that was just a test build of 
gnuradio to see how long it took.
73 ... Sid.
