Try passing CROSS_COMPILE in XEN_MAKE_ENV.

You may also need to set XEN_TARGET_ARCH, AFAICS it is not derived automatically.

Sorry for the poorly formatted reply, I am sending this from my work email.

I managed to get it to use aarch64-buildroot-linux-gnu-gcc using the CROSS_COMPILE=$(TARGET_CROSS) option , but now I see a lot of errors as apparently that version of GCC doesn't understand a lot of the command line options.

Any idea why that would be? The GCC version is 4.9.3 which should be new enough.

Thanks,

Alistair

Can you put the build log in a pastebin and post it on the list? It's
difficult to say anything just like this...

Did you also pass XEN_TARGET_ARCH?

For some reason, it doesn't seem to be cross-compiling for me, it
uses
"gcc" to build. I think you need to pass TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS in XEN_MAKE_ENV.

I see the same problem. I tried using TARGET_CONFIGURE_OPTS in XEN_MAKE_ENV but it still uses GCC.

The configure scripts detects an AArch64 target correctly, but it still uses GCC. Any other ideas?

Try passing CROSS_COMPILE in XEN_MAKE_ENV.

You may also need to set XEN_TARGET_ARCH, AFAICS it is not derived
automatically.

Sorry for the poorly formatted reply, I am sending this from my work email.

I managed to get it to use aarch64-buildroot-linux-gnu-gcc using the CROSS_COMPILE=$(TARGET_CROSS) option , but now I see a lot of errors as apparently that version of GCC doesn't understand a lot of the command line options.

Any idea why that would be? The GCC version is 4.9.3 which should be new enough.

Can you put the build log in a pastebin and post it on the list? It's
difficult to say anything just like this...

Did you also pass XEN_TARGET_ARCH?

I managed to get it to work for AArch64, but now it's failing for ARMv7. I haven't tried the x86 architectures yet.

Here is the error log: http://pastebin.com/znTSCu6s

Here is the Xen.mk I'm using: http://pastebin.com/G33WH3Z9

Thanks,
