SDK feedback

[Jan Kiszka <jan.kiszka@siemens.com>]

Hi Maksim,

finally, I actually used the SDK on an ARM target, and it worked nicely! One 
question and one feature request, though:

I did not do the chroot dance and rather looked for a way to use the cross 
compiler directly. And it /seems/ to work, at least for the trivial case:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/path-to-sdk/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
sdk/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc --sysroot /path-to-sdk \
     -o hello hello.c

Does this make sense, at least for the classic "I need a crosscompiler and the 
corresponding target libs" case? When will it start to break?


And then I noticed that the deployed SDK image could be a bit slimmer, 
specifically by purging /var/cache/apt prior to packaging. Too lazy now to write 
my own patch. :)

Thanks,
Jan
