Perl for ARMv7le

monk88 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I tried cross compiling perl for qnx 6.6.0 armv7le from the source code but unable to succeed. I went through the below process with the required c compiler for the armv7le on my ubuntu but ended up not succeeding. . Also, other problem is i dont have ssh nor the build envt on my armv7le machine.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41108190/cross-compile-perl-for-qnx-6-6-0-armle-v7

So my question : 1. does perl work for armv7le ? 2 is there any prebuilt version of perl for armv7le ?

How did cross-compiling fail for you? It's hard for us to give you specific advice if you don't tell us where and how things failed. Also note that if you want a prebuilt binary, it will have to be for your CPU and OS, so in your case `qnx 6.6.0 armv7le`. Consider asking your OS vendor about their package manager and where/how they provide packages. As an alternative, if you have the native C compiler and build packages, it's quite easy to do a native build of Perl on your target platform.	[reply] [d/l]

I have provided the link which deccribes the steps I followed and error message I get Posting the link again below : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41108190/cross-compile-perl-for-qnx-6-6-0-armle-v7 its just that the target machine does not have the native compiler or the ssh. so I'm kind a stuck here	[reply]

Have you tried without the `-j4` switch? If you get different error messages at different runs, that sounds like a problem when running multiple build targets at the same time. Also, it seems that some part of the build process expects to find a `miniperl` executable locally available. You could try to either build it or link the `perl` executable to it. But I wonder why it should fail for you when the instructions are correct.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

There are at least two substantive reasons that making your question dependent on offsite files tends to be discouraged... and deprecated: Offsite links may disappear into the bit bucket before your question loses relevance for some future reader. Some of us tend to regard off-site code as potentially malicious. Yes, your source is very long. But code & data supporting the question could be made much more concise (and thus, posted here) were you to try to follow some of the suggestions in this advice .

Ask yourself, what do I need from QNX and why do I need Perl. You'll find you only need one of the two, because these concerns are not cross cutting.	[reply]
