Project is providing simple C library, that can be loaded to test if system can handle specific platform, library was build for with a cross-compiler.
The idea is to try looping over different shared libraries trying to load it.
Initially, created for Python, as the end user of this project.
Python can be modified, or the system can report false-positive to an arch requests. For that reason we explicitly try to load a library and see if Python and the system can run it.
For Python, clone repository to the library folder and call detect_platform:
from platform_detect.python.platform import detect_platform
print(detect_platform()) # Would show 'linux-x64', for exampleFor compiling libraries https://github.com/ElementumOrg/cross-compiler Docker images are used.
To compile images just run make:
$ make all
Any contributions are welcome.
Few ideas for contributions:
- There are more platforms to detect.
- Move Docker images to musl-based.
- Make modules for other programming languages.
