## Cross Compilation
|
||||
If you desire to cross compile to ARM or Windows from a system that has cross compilation tools available for use, please use the following directions:
|
||||
|
||||
Using a Debian (Jessie) system as the host system (the system that will be doing the compiling):
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
echo -n "deb http://emdebian.org/tools/debian/ jessie main" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list
|
||||
sudo dpkg --add-architecture armhf #or whatever arch you are interested in compiling for
|
||||
sudo apt-get update #you will get GPG KEY warnings, you can decide if you would like to trust the key
|
||||
sudo apt-get install crossbuild-essential-armhf
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Next is to use the cross compilation toolchain instead of the defaults:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
CXX=arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ CC=arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc npm install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The only thing different is the setting of CC/CXX environment variables. Please make sure those compilers (arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc) actually exist and are on your path.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++ -v
|
||||
arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc -v
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You should get output with the last line ending with something like this:
|
||||
gcc version 4.9.2 ( 4.9.2-10)
|
||||
|
||||
Once everything is built, you can run bitcore-node via:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
