Hi there,
I am trying to cross-compile curl from source to CheriBSD Morello FVP Pure-Capability. I have made a note of all the library and package dependencies listed here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/curl and downloaded the original source files for each using the download links provided.
Normally, when compiling for the host system I'm on, I would just use the ./configure scripts provided with each source download, then run make to compile, and make install to install the software. How would I go about cross-compiling curl for CheriBSD Pure-Capability with the Morello FVP? I heard it is possible to make a new target for cheribuild, but looking at the wiki and the guide there on how to do so, I have no idea where to start or what is required. Or maybe it is still possible to use the ./configure scripts, but cross-compile with them?
Thanks in advance!
I can see that you've created a curl.py file in cheribuild/pycheribuild/projects/cross. If you could talk me through each of these imports, functions and variables that would be great. Or better yet if there is any read me files or documentation outside of the wiki explaining this.
Thanks :)
