During July 2025, Jacopo Gasparetto delivered RISC-V cross-compilation support for the microsoft/vcpkg repository, focusing on expanding platform compatibility for Linux environments. He configured CMake build systems to recognize riscv64 by setting CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR and established dedicated cross-compilers for C, C++, and assembler, ensuring accurate toolchain selection during cross-builds. This work addressed the need for broader architecture support, enabling developers and CI workflows to target RISC-V platforms efficiently. Jacopo’s contributions centered on build systems and cross-compilation, providing a foundation for future RISC-V CI integration and reducing barriers for teams adopting new hardware architectures within the vcpkg ecosystem.
