You can pass host as configure's argument. ./configure --help | grep host --host=HOST cross-compile to build programs to run on HOST [BUILD] > The barrier to entry to developers seems to me to be very high. I am far from being expert here. Just mentioned what really worked ( and works ) in my case.
