There are no tests in osmocom-bb yet, but I wonder if it would be possible to add simple jenkins job which checks that arm cross-compilation for osmocom-bb succeeds as a patch check?
Sure, as I see the necessary steps to do so are:
1 - create a Jenkins gerrit-verification job that points to 2
2 - add a verification script to the osmocom-bb repo in: osmocom-bb/contrib/gerrit-jenkins.sh
3 - Create a Dockerfile that is capable to do the arm cross-compilation
Also, we need to have cross-compiler installed on the build machines.
Note: imho the smoothest solution for the current build slave setup to fulfill mentioned arm cross-compilation would be a Docker container, because it doesn't affect the current build environment at all.
I have sufficient permission and time to do 1, in case it's okay for Holger and Nels?
I can take this task and try to write a Jenkins script.
And are happily collaborating on 2 and 3. Just let me know, how I can support. :)
Cheers, André
