Ah, sorry, I used the autotools vocabulary you may not be familiar with: when cross compiling, you have at least two platforms, build and host/target (host/target is the same unless you build cross-compilers). If I build foobar on linux for windows, linux is the build, windows the host/target. Anything which runs on the host/target platform cannot work in this context; anything on the build of course can - which generally includes compilers, etc... Basically, assuming a working compiler, pre-processing, compiling, linking test code snippets is OK. Running is not. cheers, David _______________________________________________ Numpy-discussion mailing list Numpy-discussion@scipy.org http://projects.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
