Hi Tom, Thanks for your prompt reply. Eventually, I did manage to get it cross-compile and install on the target and my initial tests show no problems so far. I had to modify the timezone Makefile by hand to force the ZICOBJS to compile using the host's native compiler (as localtime.o is used in OBJS list I made the output file for zic to be tlocaltime.o).

There are several AC_TRY_RUN tests in the configure script that may or may not make the right guesses when cross-compiling, plus as you found out there's at least one program that needs to be run during the installation phase. It shouldn't be too hard to copy over the zic program and its input data files and run it on the target machine, but the existing Makefiles won't help you with that :-( On the whole I'd advise building on the target. If it's got enough oomph to run a database, it can surely run a compiler ... regards, tom lane This message has been scanned for viruses by MailController - www.MailController.altohiway.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
