Patent ID: 8843904

Claim:
A method of facilitating processing within a computing environment, said method comprising: obtaining, by a processor, an architecture-dependent asset built for a first architecture, the architecture-dependent asset comprising at least one binary generated from compiling a source configuration, the at least one binary able to execute on the first architecture and unable to execute on a second architecture, which is different from the first architecture, absent retargeting of the architecture-dependent asset for the second architecture; and automatically retargeting, by the processor, the architecture-dependent asset for the second architecture, the retargeting facilitating execution of the architecture-dependent asset on the second architecture and the retargeting comprising: determining whether one or more dependency assets on which the architecture-dependent asset is dependent are able to execute on the second architecture, the determining comprising checking metadata for the architecture-dependent asset, the metadata identifying the one or more dependencies of the architecture-dependent asset; and performing processing based on the at least one binary being unable to execute on the second architecture, and based on the determining whether the one or more dependency assets are able to execute on the second architecture, wherein performing the processing comprises compiling the source configuration into at least one binary executable on the second architecture.
