[LLVMdev] Compile code for arm

[Renato Golin]

Ok, These are the three options you should be playing with:

-ccc-host-triple $(CCC_HOST_TRIPLE_ARM) \
--sysroot=$(SYSROOT_ARM) \
-gcc-toolchain $(GCC_TOOLCHAIN)

Where the (sic) host triple defines the "target" triple too.

Sysroot and gcc-toolchain is where you'll find the libraries and
binutils for the ARM targets (you'll need them, since LLVM still can't
cross-compile on its own).

Another alternative is to compile to assembly and assembly/link with
ARM gnu binutils, which is essentially the same thing, for now.

Feel free to search for those three options on the list and you'll
find a plethora or examples and discussions that will guide you
through the process.

cheers,
