Re: Cross compiling user applications for armv7

Top posting, but I found I  had to set
export METALOG=${TOP}/_.${ARCHOS}.metalog
export IGNORE_OSVERSION=yes             # of the host vs binaries
export OSVERSION=$(( OSMAJOR * 100000 + OSMINOR * 1000 + OSTRIV ))
export ABI=FreeBSD:${OSMAJOR}:${ARCH}
export PKG_CACHEDIR=${TOP}/repos/${ABI}
export REPOS_DIR=${W}/etc/pkg

and then do

pkg -o INSTALL_AS_USER=yes -r ${W} update
pkg -o INSTALL_AS_USER=yes -o FILES_IGNORE_GLOB='/usr/local/share/man*' -r
${W} install -y $PKG_LIST

to get things to work. I couldn't get INSTALL_AS_USER to work when set in
the environment, however. Maybe I did something wrong?

W/o doing that, I got the same error about uid/gid mismatch.
