Description Jakov Smolić archtester gentoo-dev 2021-01-24 22:04:05 UTC
Hi, I'm looking into frr cross-compilation. It would be nice to support it (at least to some extent) in the ::gentoo ebuild.

AFAIK there are 2 ways to do it: 
1) build the clippy tool on the host and point the build system via `--with-clippt=${PATH}` to it when cross-compiling
2) cross-compile frr out of source

I tried to do 2) via out-of-source.eclass but didn't manage to get the build working
1) seems to be the most sensible way to do it right now

Could we install the clippy tool for starters, unconditionally or put it behind a USE flag?
Thanks!
