Create Debian sysroots

Contents

Introduction

We'll create Debian sysroots suitable for a GCC cross compiler.

Prerequisites

Debian or Ubuntu or any system that can run debootstrap.

Everything below runs as root:

sudo -i

Install debootstrap

apt install -y debootstrap

Run debootstrap

mkdir -p /tmp/sysroots
cd /tmp/sysroots
for arch in amd64 arm64 mips mips64el ppc64el; do debootstrap --arch $arch --variant=buildd stable debian-$arch http://deb.debian.org/debian; done
