Re: Newbie ->cross compile GTK for ARM - ./configure problems - LD not finding libc library

[Antonio Gomes <tonikitoo gmail com>]

Hi Clive, 

I suggest you another way to perform cross compile in general using
apropiated cross compilation  tools (or toolchains). One of the best
is the scratchbox <www.scractchbox.org>. Using it , you can compile
your source to any target you want. A debian-based rootstrap is also
available at this web site (Rootstrap is a FS). There many tutorials
around the net, and many many users around the world (like me), and
mail lists.

In your case, you'd create a arm target, unpack the debian FS and
install it, and then the perform the cross compilation in transparent
way, using the benefits of debian dev tools (like apt-get) to speed
the process.

regards

BTW, I didn't see any troubles in your current process ?! Are you
getting errros ?!
