This is of interest for anybody, who's looking for a possibility to cross-compile for M92 and doesn't want to set up an x86 VM or mess around with clunky compiler flags and linux-arm-gcc etc... I think I will write a short HowTo for the wiki in the next few days/weeks.

Yay! Please do so

But for complicated reasons, the resulting PyQt4 module is not working when transferred to the M92 - at the moment I'm trying to work around those problems, but there's always something else coming up... And compilation of PyQt takes several hours every time - so this is a rather exhausting thing to do ;-) |
Hehe, real hackers never let go of a topic...
