<p>A solution to this problem is the <a href="page.php?w=cross_compiler">cross compiler</a> (or cross assembler when working with assembly language). A cross compiler allows <a href="page.php?w=source_code">source code</a> on one platform to be compiled for a different machine or operating system, making it possible to create an operating system for a machine for which a self-hosting compiler does not yet exist. Once written, software can be deployed to the target system using means such as an <a href="page.php?w=EPROM">EPROM</a>, <a href="page.php?w=floppy_disk">floppy disk</a>ette,</p><p>
