Hello,

i need a new hardware to do cross-compilation for MorphOS, do you have any ideas please? Small and quick if possible

Budget: around 500€

The G5 is good but slow for big projects.

Is there a tutorial to install the system? It's on Linux?

I'm a novice about that.

Thanks for your answers.

You can do this on any Intel/AMD box you may already own - simply run a virtual machine if your main OS isn't Debian.

See here: cross compiling.

If you want a dedicated box: I have a Minisforum UM780 dedicated to building WebKit and it does a good job. You don't need something that fast or expensive though. I'd totally get a Minisforum AMD NUC or a similar box from Aliexpress. At 500 eur you should be able to get something more than enough for any cross-compiling needs. I'd say 8 threads and 8GB ram would do just fine.

Thanks jacadcaps!

I will try

This is a small tutorial (to be continued)

- Install VirtualBox on your PC:
https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads

- Download Debian12 ISO from:
https://www.debian.org/download

- Launch VirtualBox and create a new machine by selecting the Debian 12 ISO in the configuration panel.

- Launch the installation of Debian 12

- Launch console in Debian

- Write su

- Write your password to go to root mode

- Write wget 'https://bigfoot.morphos-team.net/test/morphos-sdk_20230510-1_amd64.deb'

- Write apt-get install ./morphos-sdk_20230510-1_amd64.deb

- Update TinGL SDK and your others libs if you have.

- Install VBoxGuest via c:Programmes/Oracle/VirtualBox/VBoxGuestAdditions.iso on Windows and on Debian

- Activate bidirectionnal Clipboard option via VirtualBox menu, it's a nice feature.

Thanks Jacadcaps and BeWorld for your help and of course Bigfoot for this SDK for cross-compilation!
