[cfe-users] C/C++ system include dirs when cross-compiling

[Arnaud Allard de Grandmaison via cfe-users]

There must be some misunderstanding there.

The goal is to write:

> clang++ -target sparc--netbsd -mcpu=... compile_flags --sysroot=...
--toolchain=.. -o program.exe program.cpp

And clang will cross-compile program.cpp for this specific sparc cpu using
the includes from the sysroot, and link using the linker and libraries from
sysroot+toolchain.
I do no think there is any reason to try to use "g++-arm-linux-gnueabi"
with sysroot, and the fact that the g++ you refer to does not work with
--sysroot is something not relevant to this clang user mailing list --- but
I may be missing something. For your specific problem, you may want to give
a try to the gcc packaged by linaro (http://www.linaro.org/downloads/)
which works pretty well in my experience.

Kind regards,
Arnaud
