Hi,

I'm trying to follow the instructions for how to cross compile x86_64 on Linux found at https://arosnews....osted-wsl/ (thank you, the instructions are very complete and detailed to follow). Probably a dumb question, but when I make the Contrib folder there are many files that are the same name and location but different sizes as files as when I made the core system. I'm not quite sure I understand why there would be different versions of the same files in core and contrib. Wouldn't the latest ones be in the core? Anyways, am I supposed to overwrite the core files with what is in contrib or skip the overlapping files? I'm worried there will be problems down the road if I choose wrong and the wrong files are present. Thanks.

The duplication comes from imperfection of the build system. Assuming you selected opion 2) core-linux-x86_64 (DEBUG) to build core and option 4) core-contrib-x86_64, your contrib is built with optimizations and without debug information and your core is build without optimizations and with debug information - this is the reason for file size difference. To keep things coherent I'd suggest skip overlapping files when copying contrib to core.

@deadwood,

Will do, thanks!
