[sqlite] how to cross-compile sqlite for PPC?
hi, i'm running fedora core 3 and i need some help cross-compiling sqlite-3.2.2 for the PPC platform. i have the cross-compiler toolchain ELDK-3.1.1 installed and, like i've done with other packages, i ran the following: $ ../sqlite-3.2.2/configure --host=ppc-linux-gnu \ CC=ppc_8xx-gcc the tail end of the output is: Version set to 3.2 Release set to 3.2.2 Version number set to 3002002 checking for ppc-linux-gnu-gcc... (cached) ppc_8xx-gcc checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... (cached) yes checking whether ppc_8xx-gcc accepts -g... (cached) yes checking for ppc_8xx-gcc option to accept ANSI C... (cached) none needed configure: error: unable to find a compiler for building build tools um ... what appears to be the problem here? certainly, i have the entire gnu development suite installed, and i've used this incantation to cross-compile other packages, like expat. thoughts? rday

SQLite requires a parser generator called lemon, which is bundled with the sources. This has to be compiled and run on the build machine, and cannot be cross compiled. Try setting BUILD_CC to the host native compiler. Alternatively, use the Makefile.linux-gcc template used by DRH, and change the variables in there. thoughts? rday -- /\ \ /ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN - AGAINST HTML MAIL X - AGAINST MS ATTACHMENTS / \

Try setting BUILD_CC to the host native compiler. as in, just add BUILD_CC=/usr/bin/gcc? same error. or did i misunderstand what you were suggesting? Well, I got it wrong anyway. TARGET_CC is the cross compiler. Have a read of configure.ac, which lists the expected environment variables that can be used. Upon further examination, you need to prefix config_ to the variable name: $ export config_TARGET_CC=cross-gcc $ ./configure ... However, I tried using an arbitrary cross compiler (gcc-h8300-hms) and libtool crapped out anyway. Alternatively, use the Makefile.linux-gcc template used by DRH, and change the variables in there. ok, i'll give that a shot, too, but i'd still like to know what the problem is with the configure phase. One of the known problems is that the autoconf part is basically unmaintained, and noone has stepped up to take the reigns. I always use either the Makefile.linux-gcc as a template, or use my own imake based Imakefile. I'd suggest the former unless you're integrating with another build system and particularly require an autoconf or imake based build. rday Christian -- /\ \ /ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN - AGAINST HTML MAIL X - AGAINST MS ATTACHMENTS / \
