Arm GNU Toolchain Downloads targeting Linux hosted on macOS M1

Christopher Hunt

Hi there,

I was wondering if there are plans for the Arm GNU Toolchain Downloads to become available for macOS M1, specifically for the `arm-linux-gnueabihf` target.

Alternatively, can you please provide guidance on how I might go about building my own gcc for the `arm-linux-gnueabihf` target?

Thanks!

    Hi Christopher,

    We don't have any concrete plans to build arm-linux-gnueabihf for macOS M1, but if there's enough interest we could consider it.
    Alternatively we DO have plans to make our build-scripts public sometime next year, this should make it easier for you to build arm-linux-gnueabi-hf yourself.

    Out of curiosity any chance you could explain your usecase here?

    Kind regards,
    Andre

    Hi Andre,

    Thanks for replying. I suppose that providing a macOS target would be consistent with supplying it for Windows. We mainly use macOS for development and target ARM.

    Having the build scripts available would be great. We could then build our own and make it available via Homebrew. However, I think it should be straightforward and intuitive for ARM to provide such a distro, alongside the on-the-metal version.

    Thanks.
