Re: compiling for other architecture

Hi,

I don't think you need to do much of the things you are saying, cross
building can't really work because most ports will compile something and
then try to run it, which won't work because an armv6 binary won't run
on a x86_64 machine.

What works on the other hand is using poudriere and qemu-user-static.

you install both, and if you want to build packages for armv6, you just
create a jail with the arch as "arm.armv6", and then simply run
poudriere bulk with the arm jail. It will build everything in a jail,
and you'll get arm packages in the end.
