Description
Copied from ESC minutes of 2020-01-23
- Mozilla compiles Firefox on Linux to speed things up for the mac build
+ LWN comment: https://lwn.net/Articles/795016/
+ Mozilla upstream bug report: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=921040 - Cross build docker images at https://github.com/multiarch/crossbuild
- There is already gb_SUPPRESS_TESTS=t to suppress tests running on build
- configure knows CROSS_COMPILING to build iOS and Android
- More general mac cross compiling scripts https://github.com/tpoechtrager/osxcross
- Tests still have to run on a real box, I guess
- is this a proposal? (Miklos)
+ yes, for CI. But I just know that mac is / was a bottleneck (Jmux)
+ mac is currently not the bottleneck, though (Christian)
+ rather Linux(gcc+clang) or Windows (and have cloud help for Linux)
+ no action necessary (Thorsten)
+ good to keep in mind
+ may need this at some stage (and then this would help with the build part)
+ mac HW is just really expensive (does not scale)
