Hi, I think you are doing nothing wrong, but Scratchbox has a override mechanism for using host side tools when ever those are available. You can use SBOX_REDIRECT_IGNORE to switch this off so that your binary will be used. I hope this example will enlighten this a bit: [sbox-SDK_ARM: ~] > /usr/bin/dpkg --version Debian `dpkg' package management program version 1.13.18 (i386). This is free software; see the GNU General Public License version 2 or later for copying conditions. There is NO warranty. See dpkg --license for copyright and license details.

This is free software; see the GNU General Public Licence version 2 or later for copying conditions. There is NO warranty. See dpkg --licence for copyright and license details. First you will use actually host side dpkg from scratchbox even though you are inside armel target. When redirect ignore is set it will execute the actual armel binary. -- Miko Nieminen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
