Hi, For some reasons I need to cross-compile a tar-1.13, the target is ARM and the build host is i686-pc-linux-gnu. The tar-1.13's source come with a configure, that seems generated from a very old version of automake. For recent automake version, I have success experience to do cross-compiling, that is, specify a '--host=arm-linux' when running the 'configure' script. But for the tar-1.13's configure script, I failed to do it. I tried the following method:
1, configure --host=arm-linux 2, configure --target=arm-linux 3, configure --host=arm-linux --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu but all failed: the 'configure' script did not try to find arm-linux-gcc, it still using gcc as compiler. So I think, I did not active the cross-compiling in the script. Do you know what should I do? Thanks. - woody
