[Shilpa Singh <Shilpa Singh lntinfotech com>]

hai,

I would like to cross compile Pango 1.17.0
 for an ARM board
with the toolchain arm-linux.
I  have set all variables like CC,LD,AS,AR,RANLIB,STRIP
correctly.
this is my configure

./configure  --host=arm-linux
--build=i686-linux --prefix=$PREFIX --enable-static=yes --without-x --disable-sdl
--disable-win32 --with-gfxdrivers=none --enable-explicit-deps=yes

This is what I get when I do make..
configuration is happening correctly  freetype.a is already installed,
and path is correct in make file

harfbuzz-dump-main.o: In function
`main':
