Good afternoon Mongo Grey Beards!
I am looking to compile the latest version of mongoDB for Raspberry pi 4 armv7.
I have custom compiled GCC 11.3 as Ubuntu 20.04 (WSL) does not meet the 11.3 minimum requirement for compilation.
I need to be able to pass the GCC binary directory to python as I opted not to overwrite my current GCC binary but install it to a different directory. However I am not sure how to do so.
I also don’t even know if 6.x support armv7 as a potential compilation target. From my google foo I have seen that 5.x is possible.
The end goal is to throw it into a docker container and use it for learning.
I am not an expert when it comes to compiling software by any means. This is a learning experience for me and I have set mongoDB in my sights as a learning experience. I am a network engineer by trade so please be gentle if I ask dumb questions.
–edit
Scrolling through the SConstruct file on github I don’t see any add_options or environment variables to specify a GCC binary location. It is looking more and more like I am going to be forced into overwriting my base GCC install which is undesired.
