Cross compiling to Raspberry Pi

Hi!

I'm trying to cross-compile espruino for the Raspberry Pi, but following the guide in the README, the Makefile ends in an error and says I need wiringPi. From what I gather, wiringPi should be needed on the pi, right? Not on the host while compiling?

Is it an error, or just a warning? I was pretty sure it'd still compile if WiringPi wasn't there.

... but if you were to try and compile with WiringPi on a separate host, you still need the header files installed on the cross-compiling PC, even if the actual libraries aren't there.

It's actually easier compiling on the Pi itself - Espruino's so small the compile goes pretty quickly.
