Mostly the cross-compilation works out-of-the-box with
crossenv
+CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE
. There is only one adjustment needed forPython_ROOT_DIR
to point tosys.base_exec_prefix
, the rest is documentation of the change and adding support forCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE
where needed.I presume that under PEP720 the same workflow will be valid, primarily
sys.base_exec_prefix
would point to the target's implementation, otherwise the document should be clarified on what to expect. I have raised the issue for further clarification 1Footnotes
