### 配置交叉编译参数
CMake系统对交叉编译提供了支持[cmake-toolchains](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/manual/cmake-toolchains.7.html#cross-compiling)。为了简化cmake配置,PaddlePaddle为交叉编译提供了工具链配置文档[cmake/cross_compiling/android.cmake](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/cmake/cross_compiling/android.cmake),以提供一些默认的编译器和编译参数相关配置。注意,从CMake 3.7版本开始,CMake官方对Android平台的交叉编译提供了通用的支持。PaddlePaddle若检测到用户使用的CMake版本不低于3.7时,将会将用户传进来的配置参数传递CMake系统,交由CMake系统本身来处理。有关参数配置的详细说明见[cmake-toolchains](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.7/manual/cmake-toolchains.7.html#cross-compiling)。
交叉编译Android版本的PaddlePaddle库时,有一些必须配置的参数:
-- `CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME`,CMake编译的目标平台,必须设置为`Android`。在设置`CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=Android`后,PaddlePaddle的CMake系统才认为是在交叉编译Android系统的版本,并自动编译宿主机版protoc可执行文件、目标机版protobuf库、以及Android所需`arm_soft_fp_abi`分支的目标机版OpenBLAS库。此外,还会强制设置一些PaddlePaddle参数的值(`WITH_GPU=OFF`、`WITH_AVX=OFF`、`WITH_PYTHON=OFF`、`WITH_RDMA=OFF`)。
+- `CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME`,CMake编译的目标平台,必须设置为`Android`。在设置`CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME=Android`后,PaddlePaddle的CMake系统才认为是在交叉编译Android系统的版本,并自动编译PaddlePaddle所需的所有第三方库。此外,还会强制设置一些PaddlePaddle参数的值(`WITH_GPU=OFF`、`WITH_AVX=OFF`、`WITH_PYTHON=OFF`、`WITH_RDMA=OFF`、`WITH_MKL=OFF`、`WITH_GOLANG=OFF`)。

### Cross-Compiling Arguments
CMake supports [choosing the toolchain](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/manual/cmake-toolchains.7.html#cross-compiling). PaddlePaddle provides [`android.cmake`](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/Paddle/blob/develop/cmake/cross_compiling/android.cmake), which configures the Android cross-compiling toolchain for CMake. `android.cmake` is not required for CMake >= 3.7, which support Android cross-compiling. PaddlePaddle detects the CMake version, for those newer than 3.7, it uses [the official version](https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.7/manual/cmake-toolchains.7.html#cross-compiling).
Some other CMake arguments you need to know:
-- `CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME` must be `Android`. This tells PaddlePaddle's CMake system to cross-compile third-party dependencies. This also changes some other CMake arguments like `WITH_GPU=OFF`, `WITH_AVX=OFF`, `WITH_PYTHON=OFF`, and `WITH_RDMA=OFF`.
