Can the Intel C++ compiler cross compile to arm? This is for linux.

And the kicker (not the right forum, sorry) - same question for the Fortran compiler.

Intel C++ and FORTRAN compiler do not cross compile for ARM. Also Intel does not have current plan to build a cross compiler for ARM.

Hi
Can the Intel C++ compiler cross compile to arm? This is for linux.
I think not...

Make VM with Qemu emulator (debian netboot) machine armel
Gnu compiler could working very slow but it must work.
you have Gnu compiler default 4.4 fortran included but not ELF (gold)
If you have UEFI Firmware remember to enable virtual option in Intel
processor manager.

Cross is complex i think .. (ARM barriers cp15 -> isb,dsb,dmb) and no
SMP etc ....require binary is tested real mode more sure

Before Intel mobile ready (I hope finally....)
death in the soul, I have building on ARM machine a source Gnu compiler 4.6.2 version more actualized that its armel distribution default.

I have upgrade the compiler to this netbook(ARMv7 Processor rev 5) machine for compare with Atom N570 (penalty frequency considered)
the two machines installed on sdcard.
Same it's possible to evaluate what you have really existing under the smartphones existing
and what could be with Atom Intel on mobile
It takes a long time but ,only , those that have the hands soiled
in engine give the true.
Do not think is i search to decrease product ARM, the work shared in all sides is well.
I have compile an large of sources actualized for it work better,and i am
very happy with result and the experience acquired.
(also very happy to this Arm machine)
I have now packages more recent that have last Debian or Ubuntu (AMD & INTEL)
Just for me,i wait processor Intel more great power that is hosted actually in the smartphone or the tablet.

I forget ...

Hi

Maybe ,It could be better you envisage an plan to make an smartphone Intel before ...

There was an Intel C++ Compiler for XScale and Windows CE. The compiler wasa Windows
platformhostedand did not support building Linux applications.You could alsocontact to Marvell because
Intel has sold XScale some time ago.
