Embedded Programming with Modern C++ Cookbook

How to do it...

Let's start by creating a simple C++ program, which we want to compile for our target platform:

1. Create a file named hello.cpp in the ~/test directory.
2. Use your favorite text editor to add the following code snippet to it: 

#include <iostream>int main() { std::cout << "Hello, world!" << std::endl; return 0;}

3. Now that we have the code for the Hello, world! program, we need to compile it. 
4. Switch to the Ubuntu (our build system) console.
5. Get the up-to-date list of packages available for the installation by running the following command:

# apt update -y

6. It will take some time to fetch the package descriptions from the Ubuntu servers. Run the following command to install the cross-compilation tools:

 # apt install -y crossbuild-essential-armel ...
