My goal is to compile ardupilot Navio+ from my Mac. Currently, the only way I can make the compile faster is compiling through an Ubuntu Virtual Machine running on mac.
Does anybody know how to compile Ardupilot Navio+ from source code on Mac or PC? I have tried using compiler provided by Raspberry Pi Foundation, but it seems that it can only run under Linux system, but not Mac.
The link below looks interesting, but personally I had so much trouble I think it’s best to cross compile from a system as close to the target system as possible (i.e. keep the VM). But if these tools are supported, as OSX is UNIX based maybe that’s already close enough.

I just wrote some general tips which apply to any cross compilation and also adding drivers here:
I made a small post about the issue a couple months ago in order to remember how it’s done. I’ll try to turn it into a docs entry and update APM’s Makefile as soon as possible.
