Cross-Assembler

To use the Xita Cross-Compiler, we need a compliant AArch64 cross-compiler. Using the command below will uncompress the cross-assembler into the correct location for Xita internal use.

NOTE: Xita expects the cross assembler to reside in ~/.opt/cross.

$  cd XCSL-AArch64/
$  tar xf aarch64-assembler.tar.xz -C $HOME

Cloning and Installing

$  git clone https://github.com/CodeusTech/Xita-AArch64
$  cd Xita-AArch64
[ Xita-AArch64]$  make install

#  You can test that it is working correctly by running the following test
[ Xita-AArch64]$  tests/run-tests

#  Alternatively, you can build Xita in './_build/' without installing 
#   it to '/usr/bin/' (overwriting previous installation).  
[Xita-AArch64]$  make build
