[Sussex] ./confgure help - cross compiling GTK

[anbeyon at btinternet.com]

Hi Geoff,

I've only just got back to playing with this again.
Thanks for your pointers I've been reading up on lots of things.

Its making more sence now but I am having some fun and games

I am invoking ./configure as below;

./configure CC=/usr/local/arm/3.3.2/bin/arm-linux-gcc --host=arm-linux 
--build=i686-linux 
--prefix=/home/anbeyon/Documents/Projects/Chord/Pandora4/Software/GTK/GTKBuild/glib 
--libdir=/usr/local/arm/3.3.2/arm-linux/lib 
--includedir=/usr/local/arm/3.3.2/arm-linux/include

but failing miserably :0(

configure output on console windows is;

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for arm-linux-strip... no
checking for strip... strip
checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... arm-unknown-linux-gnu
checking for the BeOS... no
checking for Win32... no
checking whether to enable garbage collector friendliness... no
checking whether to disable memory pools... no
checking for arm-linux-gcc... /usr/local/arm/3.3.2/bin/arm-linux-gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C 
compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

When I check the config.log file is says part way through the following;
see the bit in RED with my comment --->>> afterwards
It can;t find the libc library - it's looking in the wrong place I think !

I have checked the locations I've specified and the libc file is there.

Any ideas.

Thanks
