  • [gentoo-dev] [PATCH 1/2] sysroot.eclass: New eclass for using a differe

    From James Le Cuirot@21:1/5 to All on Fri May 9 19:40:01 2025
    This only has one function for now, but I intend to add a general
    purpose sysroot wrapper script for use with Meson, Perl, and more. It
    just needs longer in the oven.

    waf supports executing binaries via a wrapper for cross-compiling. This
    may already be handled by a QEMU outside this environment if binfmt_misc
    has been used with the F flag, and we cannot add a cross-only dependency
    on QEMU. For these reasons, this sets the prefix using QEMU_LD_PREFIX
    rather adding QEMU's -L arg to the --cross-execute option, and it checks whether QEMU is present before trying to use it.

    I have used this to cross-compile Samba and its waf-based dependencies.

    Actually, hold that thought. I've considered cases where the architecture is the same but the libc is different. While we could still use QEMU in that
    case, it would be better not to. Let me rethink this.
