Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/librespot-org/librespot/issues/357

I have a Mac running Docker, Pi3B and PiZero W at my disposal. I'm looking to attempt running librespot on an old PogoPlug e-02 Model (1.2ghz processor, 256mb RAM, running debian stretch). I've tried the Docker cross compiler image but the generic target doesn't run on armv5. Thanks for any tips.

Have you tried adding the armv5te-unknown-linux-gnueabi target and cross building it? According to https://forge.rust-lang.org/platform-support.html, it should be a supported target.

@ashthespy thanks for the reply. I tried this command to cross compile using the docker container:

docker run -v /tmp/librespot-build:/build librespot-cross cargo build --release --target armv5te-unknown-linux-gnueabi --no-default-features --features with-tremor

and ended up with an error:

error[E0463]: can't find crate for `core`
  |
  = note: the `armv5te-unknown-linux-gnueabi` target may not be installed
error: aborting due to previous error

For more information about this error, try `rustc --explain E0463`.
error: Could not compile `lazy_static`.
warning: build failed, waiting for other jobs to finish...
error: Could not compile `rand_core`.

::edited to show correct error::

Sorry, I should have been more specific:

  = note: the `armv5te-unknown-linux-gnueabi` target may not be installed
error: aborting due to previous error

As the error states, the target wasn't installed, You would have to update the Dockerfile to add the required c compiler and the actual target you want to build. Take a look at how the other targets have been added.
So something along the lines of

RUN rustup target add armv5te-unknown-linux-gnueabi

You will also have to check what it corresponding versions of the c compiler you need (arm-none-linux-gnueabi maybe?) and link it so that Cargo can pick it up.
