  • Cross-building support using dependency information
    Patent number: 8612946
    Abstract: A mechanism for cross-building support using dependency information is disclosed. A method of the invention includes parsing a source code package received for compilation into a binary source code package for a target machine, the parsing to determine a list of dependency packages needed to compile the source code package, for each dependency package in the list of dependency packages determining a type of the dependency package and associating an architecture of at least one of a build machine compiling the source code package or the target machine with the dependency package based on a determined type of the dependency package, downloading each dependency package in the list of dependency packages in a binary form of the build architecture format, and downloading each dependency package that is associated with the target machine in a binary form of the target architecture format.
