Yep.

Cross compiling in the field isn't reasonable. 

To each their own.

 

As you mentioned, all those CFLAG settings and little source touches
required days of work and pots of coffee. I don't recommend it as a form
of entertainment.

It shouldn't be that hard. We have the template in cmake Toolchain files and in the wiki. Just plug in the details of your board.

Anyway, my point earlier was that I'd like people to stop pushing their pet method as the one true way and instead let people make informed decisions. Not everyone has time to let a little ARM board cook bits for 60 hours every time they make a change in GNU Radio or their OOT module and that option shouldn't be pushed on to people coming in asking for help cross compiling.

Shaun,

There actually is an Odroid page on our wiki. Perhaps that will work for you and you can use the binary install from Arch linux. Afterwards if you *really* need to cross compile then you can use the OE SDK as long you're using a binary compatible version of deps like boost.

I wasn't trying to push anything, I only stated what could be done and wondered why cross compiling  was being chosen in case I was missing a trick.

ARM boards are getting ever more powerful and the current crop of 32-bit multi-processor boards are no slouch, even the dual-A9 Parallella-16 performs well standalone.
