What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by ogkevin/cadmus in .agents/skills/build-kobo/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Use cargo xtask build-kobo to cross-compile Cadmus for Kobo devices.
The Linaro ARM toolchain is supported on both Linux and macOS hosts.
Basic usage
# Cross-compile for Kobo
cargo xtask build-kobo
# Build with specific Cargo feature flags
cargo xtask build-kobo --features test
What it does
- Verifies the Linaro ARM toolchain is available on
PATH - Runs
cargo build --release --target arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf -p cadmus
Thirdparty dependencies (zlib, bzip2, libpng, libjpeg, openjpeg, jbig2dec, libwebp, freetype2, harfbuzz, gumbo, djvulibre, mupdf) are tracked as git submodules and built automatically by the build-deps crate's build.rs when needed. On a warm cache, no submodule initialisation or C/C++ compilation happens.
Output
The compiled binary is written to:
target/arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf/release/cadmus
Prerequisites
- Linux or macOS — cross-compilation is supported on both platforms
- Linaro ARM toolchain on
PATH:arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc,arm-linux-gnueabihf-ar(provided by the devenv shell)
