Re: [Gm2] cross compile gm2 for rpi arm?

[Charles Bradshaw]

I see some attempts to do a native compile of gm2 on the pi, but this
takes "> 7 days" !

Surely it makes more sense to cross compile? After all, we could get
errors during the 7 day run only to have to repeat N times before
getting it to work.

The purpose of RPI gm2 is to provide beginner programmers the
opportunity to experience the "obvious!" advantages of Modula 2.

Ultimately compiling anything non trivial (the whole purpose of Modula
2) on the RPI is fraught. The final step, therefore, is a cross gm2
targeting the pi.

Please help...
