In principle the wheel format support any kind of cross-building. It's possible though that the current wheel library has a bug that prevents this somehow or that you've monkeypatched distutils/setuptools in such a way that isn't compatible with bdist_wheel. It may be that the bdist_wheel command itself does not support cross-building but the wheel format certainly does, and perhaps the wheel library does if you import it directly. > I can guess that somewhere in wheel the plat-name argument is not > being passed on to distutils bdist, but in addition something about > the platform name is causing the crash later on. Sounds reasonable. I don't know the answer or whether anyone else on this list will but you can definitely find the relevant developers at this mailing list: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/distutils-sig/ Oscar -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
