Hi Tim.
When building for the Pi, do you compile directly on it? or (as I suspect) do you have to cross-compile to it?
thx.

Speaking for myself, I compile directly on the Pi. I’m pretty sure Tim does the same. He recently told us how blazing fast the compilation on the new 4-core ARMv7 RPi 2 can be :)

I’ve always built directly on the Pi. I don’t have the patience to faff around with the setting up and surviving cross-compilers. Gcc etc annoys me enough as it is. A Pi2 compiles the stack vm in a few minutes anyway and with dependencies and other problems fixed it would hardly ever need to do clean build.
I do of course have to kinda-sorta cross compile for the Cog work, but that’s more a case of building a (hopefully plausible) simulator and running hopeful-cog code on it. We just have to hope that the sim is near enough the real thing...
