It seams to depend on the version of the "./configure" tool you have, but most have an option to cross-compile (usually "--host"). You might also need to change the path to the libraries or the include-files as in most cases, they will be located elsewhere. If the automatic ./configure tool does not work correctly with the different options, you can also just run "./configure" without the cross-compile options and then hack the Makefile to get it working via "try and error". This is what I did to get the code to compile on a i386 for a friendlyarm mini2440 (which has a samsung 3C2440 CPU, based on a ARM920T). This is based on the particular toolchain that is provided for this device. (copy-paste from an earlier mail I send in this list: --- cut here --- cut here --- cut here --- cut here --- I did a quick hack, just to get it working: - just take the i386 code as it is. - do "make generate_codebook" - rename the (i386) application to generate_codebook.i386 - do "make clean" - modify the Makefile, changing all references from "gcc" to "/opt/FriendlyARM/toolschain/4.4.3/bin/arm-linux-gcc" - also do the same thing in "libtool" - do "make" at a certain point, it will stop as with the error it cannot execute generate_codebook (as this is the ARM version of the application) do - mv generate_codebook generate_codebook.ARM - cp generate_codebook.i386 generate_codebook - do "make", to continue the process. I know. It's a dirty hack, but it did the job for me and as a first test, that was good enough. --- cut here --- cut here --- cut here --- cut here --- Do let us know if you managed to get it build. > Thanks, > Stuart Cheerio!
