Behind the Scenes of Ventoy: Building a Cross-Platform Bootable USB Creator
2025-08-06
Ventoy, an open-source tool for creating multi-bootable USB drives, involves extensive cross-compilation. This code snippet shows a portion of the Ventoy build script, covering various architectures such as x86, ARM64, and MIPS64, along with the building and integration of tools like BusyBox, cryptsetup, and FUSE. The process requires pre-downloading some dependencies and configuring and compiling accordingly for different target architectures and operating systems. The final output is an image supporting multiple boot methods, making it user-friendly across diverse hardware platforms.
