The easiest way to build GNU Mach, is from Debian. If you are running Debian GNU/Hurd: https://darnassus.sceen.net/~hurd-web/microkernel/mach/gnumach/building/ $ apt source gnumach $ cd gnumach-XXXXXXXX # apt install build-essential fakeroot # apt build-dep gnumach $ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -b Now, if you insist on building Mach from source via GNU/Linux... Take a look at the cross compiling guide here: https://darnassus.sceen.net/~hurd-web/open_issues/arm_port/ And these links are also useful: https://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2023-01/msg00132.html https://github.com/flavioc/cross-hurd Joshua -- Joshua Branson Sent from the Hurd
