     1.7 +Cross compiling

     1.9 +Cookutils let you cross coile package fro a specofic architecture. Say you want
    1.10 +to build ARM binaries from an standard i486 machine. Cookutis provide helpers
    1.11 +for the ARM platform, but the first thing to do is compile a cross toolchain and
    1.12 +modify the main cook.conf variables to use correct ARCH, CFLAGS and BUILD_SYSTEM
    1.13 +
    1.14 +Cook handle HOST_ARCH and CROSS_* receipt variables. Some package dont build or
    1.15 +are not packaged for an architecture and so cross compiling will fails if the
    1.16 +package receipt have not been reviewd and include HOST_ARCH. Here is an example
    1.17 +and a list of cross variables:
    1.18 +
    1.19 +HOST_ARCH="i486 arm"
    1.20 +CROSS_BUGS="Bugs description"
    1.21 +
    1.22 +Before cross compiling, cook will automaticaly add cross-tools path to PATH, set
    1.23 +CC, AR, LD, etc and also export CROSS_COMPILE.
