I suppose you could run the config step (using the host's compiler), then go and fix up the generated config files in the build/ directory. Hmm, looks to me if you run 'python setup.py build_src', then go poke around in build/src.<something>, you should find a numpy/ __config__.py, numpy/distutils/__config__.py (which look to be the same file, for some reason), and a numpy/core/config.h I *think* that's all you you'd have to fiddle. Then you should be able to build the modules by setting CC to your cross compiler, and doing 'python build_ext build_py' (Almost; looks like one config test is done in build_ext). Hope that helps; patches to make this cleaner are welcome. -- |>|\/|< /------------------------------------------------------------------\ |David M.
