sometimes i really wish i knew at least one other person who knows how to compile things to pick their brain

i wish i could make any programmer friends, lol

anyway just wasted several hours trying to cross-compile something that i could probably have waited for the tiny 1ghz pocketchip compile itself

i really wish cross-compiling was possible. you'd think we should be able to use multiple-ghz machines to compile for smaller ones. oh well

@mavica_again i've used this script and dockerfile to set up an environment for cross-compiling before github.com/cromulencellc/hacka but the target was qemu and not real hardware

@bonzoesc i don't feel like installing docker and i'm not sure if it would be any easier to get sdl2:armhf into docker as it has been in apt, i just can't get the compiler to see it anywhere

@bonzoesc i'm already having to learn this project's ass backwards cmakelists i don't feel like having to learn how to make an armhf docker

@mavica_again i was mostly using docker on the host running the compiler to keep it from making a mess everywhere, but i think in the end the script there just wants to put stuff in `/opt/cross` (probably in the script)

github.com/cromulencellc/hacka is the makefile that runs the cross-compiler, but i don't know how those concepts translate to cmake at all
