Thanks for adding. The only loongarch package I see in my (Debian-based) apt-get is binutils-loongarch64-linux-gnu. That's likely not enough to build/run. Do you have any advice on where to get the compiler?

The Ubuntu 24.10 release (and the upcoming Ubuntu 25.04 release) include the g++-14-loongarch64-linux-gnu package, and details of the Ubuntu 24.10 g++-14-loongarch64-linux-gnu package can be found at https://packages.ubuntu.com/oracular/g%2B%2B-14-loongarch64-linux-gnu.

The upcoming Debian 13 release also includes the g++-14-loongarch64-linux-gnu package, and details of the g++-14-loongarch64-linux-gnu package in the upcoming Debian 13 release can be found at https://packages.debian.org/trixie/g%2B%2B-14-loongarch64-linux-gnu.

Sorry, I haven't tried cross-compile yet on Debian x86 platform, @jan-wassenberg. I tested it on Ubuntu-24.04, see below:

jin@loongson-To-be-filled-by-O-E-M:~$ cat /etc/os-release
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS"

But debian package for loongarch seems available here https://packages.debian.org/unstable/g++-14-loongarch64-linux-gnu， hopes this help.

It seems Ubuntu-24.04(same for mine) is enough, see above and cisco/openh264@e49c095, @johnplatts .

hm, I think we're still stuck on local testing (unable to update), but it seems Ubuntu 24.04 running in Github actions would currently be our best hope. Would you like to add the test to .github/workflows/build_test.yml? We use run_tests.sh for running locally.

No problem, I will update that when ready. Thanks.
