[Fwd: ORBit2 cross compiling.] - glib cross compiling

[Michael Meeks <michael ximian com>]

Hi guys,

	It turns out that some non-cross-compiling friendliness in glib, is
costing our developers pain and anguish, and having to use an old,
unsupportable ORB.

	What can I do, if anything, to help get #77565 folded in ?

	Regards,

		Michael.

I thought this info would help....  But so far I haven't gotten past the
"iconv()" check in the glib2.0.4 configuration script.

It refuses to do the "--without-libiconv" and configure for me.   I've
tried putting some stuff into the environment to turn it off.  Haven't hit
on the right combination.  Unless there is a way to have ORBit2 configure
against an older version of glib.   I may have hit the brick wall on
building ORBit2 for my target embedded system.

In case this is helpful:

See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77565 for
how to cross-compile glib2, if you haven't seen it already.

And my recent post http://www.kegel.com/xgcc3/orbit.html
for cross-compiling glib1.
