Yes.<br>
Or maybe you can do something with the ExternalProject support, to first do a<br>
native build in an external project, and then use the generated executable in<br>
the cross build.<br>
I haven't tried this myself, but it might work.<br>

I have been thinking that ExternalProject and cross-compiling might go very well together. You could do host and target builds, and cross populate caches and set toolchains automatically in the ExternalProject. I have not tried either, but ExternalProject did not exist when the original cross-compile stuff happened, and I think they could really complement each other.<br>

</blockquote></div><br>It definitely sounds like an interesting and promising combination. The one snag I hit when I tried that was that the project I tried to use through ExternalProject seemed to automatically pick up the toolchain that I'd specified for the main project. If that's the way it works, then I'm probably stuck.<br>
<br>If there's a way to make it not do that, then I probably missed an option somewhere. I'll have to play around with it some more and see if I can find a way to make that work.<br><br>
Thanks,<br>Christopher
