+Raspbian
+--------
+
+It's now possible to cross-compile LibreOffice for Rapsberry Pi running Raspbian.
+You will need Raspbian's pkg-config files and system libraries to build against.
+Available at http://dev-www.libreoffice.org/src/raspbian_rootfs.tar.bz2
+$ wget http://dev-www.libreoffice.org/src/raspbian_rootfs.tar.bz2
+$ tar -axf raspbian_rootfs.tar.bz2
+
+You can build cross-compiler yourself or get the executables here:
+$ git clone git://github.com/raspberrypi/tools
+tools/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian is known to work.
+
+Then create pkg-config wrapper, something like:
+$ cat > pkg-config-wrapper-host << _EOF
+#!/bin/sh
+
+SYSROOT=<path-to-raspbian_rootfs>
+
+export PKG_CONFIG_DIR=
+export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=\${SYSROOT}/usr/lib/pkgconfig:\${SYSROOT}/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/pkgconfig:\${SYSROOT}/usr/share/pkgconfig
+export PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR=\${SYSROOT}
+
+exec pkg-config "\$@"
+_EOF
+$ chmod +x pkg-config-wrapper-host
+This does not work with pkg-config 0.23. 0.26 is known to work.
+
+And you are ready to build with autogen.lastrun similar to:
+
+PKG_CONFIG=<path-to-pkg-config-wrapper-host>
+CC=<path-to-arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc> --sysroot=<path-to-raspbian_rootfs>
+CXX=<path-to-arm-linux-gnueabihf-g++> --sysroot=<path-to-raspbian_rootfs>

+
+Finally, when you are ready to run the binaries in Raspbian,
+you may need to get more system libraries.
+Update your /etc/apt/sources.list as described in
+http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianRepository and then:
+$ sudo apt-get update
+$ sudo apt-get build-dep libreoffice
