It doesn't work via configure. The very first thing I tried was ./configure --build --host etc. That is always the first thing I try - it is the standard way of working with cross-building. gcc is still run for the top level make file because the Makefile doesn't use a variable for setting CC, it sets it directly and will thereby only accept an override via MAKEFLAGS which needs to be set via debian/rules (or otherwise in the environment but debian/rules is the most sensible way of doing that). > In > particular, you need to ensure that off64_t is detected properly since > that has an effect on the ABI of the resulting library and it will > probably fail to build in some combinations. > > > cross-building environment.

If the configuration script worked, I wouldn't need the patch. :-( -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/
