I have been having some trouble doing this and was wondering if it is a common theme or there is room to make it better.
Sometimes packages wont compile at all and thats fine. But recently I cross compiled some system packages and it bricked my system and was no longer able to ssh into it. I am not asking for help in this specific issue, but want to ask if this is a common occurrence for this kind of setup? It does not seem to be a popular setup
You gotta make sure you don’t run
make install
without thinking about it. Always set your$DESTDIR
and$PREFIX
properly, so the binaries don’t overlap with your system binaries.
