It is getting better but usually compiling natively is much easier. > I only have shallow experience with cross-compiling, though: Is this > newbie-doable or am I in for days of head-scratching ? If the source package is cross-compilable, then it isn't much different from compiling natively. https://wiki.debian.org/CrossCompiling IIRC Helmut (one of the few people working on it) says only about 10% of Debian is cross-compilable though. If anyone wants to help improve that, please introduce yourself on the debian-cross mailing list. https://lists.debian.org/debian-cross/ -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
