Title: How to set target for linux?
Post by: typicalc on May 24, 2016, 04:27:36 pm

I've created a small C exe that I've run on Windows 7 command prompt. No errors or warnings.
It has no Windows features, inludes or libraries - just plain C.

Now I'd like to create a Linux exe from same source. How do I select target exe to be "native" linux? Currently my Build->Select targe has only "Debug" and Release".

I'm planning on creating an exe for Raspberry Pi with linux distro but compile & link it on a Windows 7 computer. I copy the resulting exe to the Rasberry SSD and run it there as a console app.

The first problem you need to solve is finding a compiler that can work on windows and build for arm-linux. The official name for this is cross compiling.
After that you can think how to setup the project in codeblocks.

Have you solved this problem?

Ok.  I'll have to move the source files over to Raspberry and use GCC over there to compile and link.
Thank you for the time.
