Source: gpm Version: 1.20.4-4 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch The upstream "gpm" seems to need a very old version of autoconf which does not properly support cross-compiling. As a result, "./configure" only tries "gcc" unless manually overridden with $CC.
The attached patch supplies the necessary CC override to allow a cross-compile to actually work. Please review and apply. Cheers, Kyle Moffett -- Curious about my work on the Debian powerpcspe port?
